Gearhead!
So I just installed the 4600 rear shocks on my truck - 5.0 FX4 3.31 Supecrew shortbed with the 18 inch stock michelin tires and wheels.

So glad I did. The best dumb explanation is that it feels like the truck did leg day. Much more confidence to drive around. And I agree with comments saying it allows the fronts to dampen better. I loved a basic silverado 5.3 I rented a while ago just because of how light and planted it felt. This takes my f150 pretty much all the way there.

I had these along with the hellwig 7743 sway bar on my 15, but I dont think I need the sway bar this time. Maybe because of model year changes, fx4 front shocks and tow package vs my old one.

Anyone with the 4600s on the rear- would you be so kind to post a photo or two from the side of the truck? I am either going to buy the 4600s or 5100s. I'd like to save a few bucks with the 4600s, but I just don't know if I will hate the yellow color.

From the side, not noticeable; from the rear, just the bottom end and not garish.

I shared your concern, about the front, but it's completely concealed by the shock cover at the top and the wheel, below that.

I'll post a pic later.

I decided to go with the 4600s over the 5100s. Here are a few photos in case anyone else is having doubts about the 4600's colors like I was. The yellow is definitely noticeable from the sides, but I can live with it.
