I bought a 2015 F250 with the 6.2. It rides like crap. Hit a bump and it just bounces. My 2022 I had rode pretty damn smooth even with the snow plow package and a FX4 package. My “new” truck is a king ranch and has 190K on it and I think it has the original rancho shocks. Looking for something to ride down the highway smoother. Truck is used to haul feed and hay but nothing too heavy

I liked the ProComp ES9000's.  Decently stiff twin tube shock for about $45 each.  Did a good job controlling the axles on my Jeep WJ (two live axles).  Got about 90k out of them before one started to leak, so I bought the same ones again.

I swapped out the cheap Ranchos on my
2012 f350 FX4 package for Bilstien 5100s . Made a difference

Same, a little more controlled (stiffer) than the OEM. I tow 3K trailer 90% of the time.

I noticed the 5100s are a little stiffer but not offensive.  They were actually softer than I expected.

Another +1 for the Bilsteins.  I have 5100s on my '19 F250.  Night and day difference from the factory shocks.
