Need 2018 Ford F-150 shocks or struts? 2018 is mid 13th-gen aluminum-body F-150 (2015–2020). Front corners are coil-over struts. This page is the regular F-150 pickup — not Raptor, not Tremor, not Super Duty, and not 2009–2014 12th-gen.
A nose that dives, or a shock body that is wet, is the front strut. A float on the highway or a squat when you tow is the rear shock. Replace a corner as an axle pair. Clunks that are not the damper belong on the suspension page for this year.

Leveling the rake? Compare kits for this generation: 2015–2020 Ford F-150 2 Inch Leveling Kit. Rancho RS999945 / RS999946, Rough Country N3 Struts, and Belltech 15101 are leveling paths on this page.
2018 Ford F-150 shocks — 13th-gen shop focus
The easy mistake is ordering 2009–2014 12th-gen struts, or a Raptor / Tremor coilover, onto a regular 2018 F-150. Match 4WD vs RWD on every Bilstein and Rough Country row.
What usually brings people here
- Nose dive or a leaking front strut (4WD) → Bilstein 5100 Front Pair or stock-height Detroit Axle 4WD Front Struts.
- Want to kill the factory rake → Rancho RS999945 / RS999946, Rough Country N3 Struts / 501074, or Belltech 15101.
- Rear squat or a loose highway feel → Bilstein rear Rear 5100 / Rear 4600, or Gabriel G64157 (RWD).
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 4×2 vs 4×4, FX4 / pre-lift height, and the symptom if you want a part-number check.
