I bought these to level my 4x4 truck out. I put them on the highest settings and while the ride is stiffer then factory it still rides great. I highly reccommend these to anyone looking for a great shock/strut. I installed these myself in about 2 hours. I do not reccommend DYI unless you know what you are doing. spring compression in needed and you need to have a good strong tool to get it done. Just take pictures before and during the teardown and you can put them back in in reverse.
Solved my ride height issues and improved the ride. I was too low in the front (2017 F150, DJM lower arms, shortened spring), this allowed me to use a different spring with a higher spring rate and adjust the ride height I wanted. Monotube shock is way better than stock, I'm lowered and have an equal or better ride than stock. Highly recommended.
These are of good quality however mistitled as fitting my 2013 f150 stx regular cab. They only properly fit the 2wd trucks not the 2013 f150 stx regular cab trucks which are 4wd
