stevenc Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Apparently sacrilegious, but the notion of improved suspension performance without compensating, er… lifting seems non existent. ISO… progressive shock/coil upgrade for non-lifted, non-Tremor truck that still hauls/tows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastMark Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I think you will find Bilstein 5100 shocks are the most common upgrade for the standard shocks. I can tell you they stopped terrible roll in my 16 F150 and I will do the same upgrade on my F250 due next week. I’m sure there will be more seasoned owners comment on options.

I'm gonna have to agree with Bilstein 5100 upgrade. Although I did a 2 1/2" ready lift in the front and 4" blocks in the back of my 22 Lariat SB, the truck is more planted in turns especially at highway speed on bumpy roads. My '19 (same model) was white knuckle feeling out of control going over the same conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I orderedvtruck with snowplow/slide in camper package.... Not much roll and is a rougher ride....only reason I added those is because it added payload capacity.....but the truck does ride like a panzer tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenc Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Still looking…. Currently planning on a Carli kit but they’re designed for 37’s. I’d be more than happy bumping up to 295/70/18 vs 35’s Tow & haul regularly… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoman Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 You can probably call Carli directly to discuss what you want and what they recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carli kit makes complete sense in terms of improving suspension travel but is designed around 37” tires on 17” rims. Leveling achieves nothing more than an aesthetic, surprised there are not more options for functional improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
