    Looking to upgrade the old suspension on my ‘15. I don’t really need or want a lift. So what’s the best riding out there? I drive regular roads and lots of gravel during hunting season. I heard a lot about Billie 1500s. Is there anything else I’m missing that’s a great replacement? I’m going to do all four corners at once.

    It's popular and cheap to swap to new OEM takeoffs. The suspension components are the same 05-22 (and counting)

    In my area there are commonly complete low mileage takeoffs for a couple hundred.

    I’ve looked at doing this but I’ve not had much luck in my area.

    Throw the Bilstein 5100 on, set fronts to zero lift.
    It may improve the ride, and they have a lifetime warranty

    Bilstien 5100 is exactly made for that. You can also use them to correct any "lean" your truck has by setting the left side one clip higher than stock.

    Bilstein 5100 at a minimum and FOX 2.0 if you want to splurge and have a really soft ride.

    The fox 2.0 was the one I was trying to think of. Thanks
