Shock/Struts

I have a 2009 4x4 Crew cab short bed
4.0L. 103k miles. Go off road for hunting. What is a good brand/model of shock/strut to replace original?? Any help will be appreciated! GenPatton

 

Look for the 3rd gen suspension
People sell them quite often and just a few hundred bucks

 

Bilsteins

 

I have the same truck but long bed.I Spend a lot of time in the back country over rough roads and trails hunting and fishing. I replaced mine with Bilstein 4600’s. They are considered the replacement shocks for original equipment. But They are far superior to the original shocks that came on your truck. Great highway shocks too. Some people will tell you to get 5100’s but unless your truck is lifted you don’t need 5100’s. The 4600 is the same as the 5100 but are for trucks that aren’t lifted. I’m quite happy with my Bilsteins 4600’s.

 

Kings 4.0 or bust!

 

Just replaced my oem shocks with 4600s and can attest to this, it was a good choice

 

Bilstein 4600s here also. Recently replaced my OEMs at around 110K miles, very noticeable improvement.
Sprig is spot-on, Bilstein advises 5100s for lifted trucks, and 4600s for non-lifted.
