Review on Bilstein 33 253190 33253190 Shock Absorber by Jason Yancy

I have a 2015 Lariat F150 FX4. According to reading online, factory shocks typically fail at around 40,000 miles. I have 44,000 miles and the ride was noticeably worse than when I started. It was very stiff and bounced uncomfortably hard on the freeway, and big bumps had me flying out of the seat. It got to the point that my wife didn't like sitting in the truck anymore. I ordered front and rear shock absorbers. The rear ones came first and deployed them in about 30 minutes. After day one, the ride was noticeably better but still stiff. Drives much smoother after 5 days. The rear feels more planted and manageable on the freeway and over bumps. My wife even noticed an improvement. I think the shocks needed time to break in. Next week I will assemble the front parts. I will post an updated review of this product. If you feel like your truck isn't running as smooth and comfortable as it used to, you should definitely start by replacing the rear shock absorbers. Made a big difference. The shop shouldn't take more than an hour's work for this.
