The off-road version sit two inches higher than the rest of the half-ton crowd, so, when you are ordering up shocks, keep that in mind. If you have any additional lift, or a leveling kit, take that into account as well.

Get Bilsteins and never look back.
I got a set about 2 years ago and still rides awesome.
You'll definitely notice the difference.

Here is the one for lifted rides

These are the best shocks I've ever used. I also have a set on my F350.
Bilstein all the way
