shock help

[Daniel@RudysDiesel]

I want to take off the stock shocks for a little better ride im kinda stuck between fox 2.0 and the blistein 5100. If anyone has any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Fox 2.0 will greatly outperform the bilstein.

 

[Daniel@RudysDiesel]

What about towing wise also

Also looking at 2.0s over 5100s I've heard a lot of good things about both

+1 for 2.0. A buddy of mine runs them and it's a way smoother ride and it takes potholes a lot better. I will be going with them this spring

When you say Fox 2.0 are you talking about the factory replacement shocks they make or getting full on 2.0 resi shocks and fine tuning them?

 

[bigaF250]

Just the replacement.

Replacement 2.0, than next would be the resi. I recommend the fox everyday over bilstein but it is personal preference with ride quality.

On a scale

Stiff (w/ out a lot of weight) ----------------------spongy (still very controlled)
5100 - 5160 - fox2.0 - fox resi

Just depends what you want

Each company has the valving set up differently, and all are great choices over stock

So its between 5160 and 2.0 no resi.

I wiill be running a fox resi on my truck, and I have ran bilstein 5100,5160, and fox resis before.
