How different is this from the Roush kit? I thought that one used Bilsteins as well

The Ford "kit" is front coilovers and rear dampers for $1525 estimated.
The Roush kit I found is based on Fox for $1299.99
Ford F-150 Off-Road Suspension Leveling Kit "Coming Soon" 1637444824694

https://www.roushperformance.com/parts/f150-parts-category/f150-suspension-category.html
  • Made in the USA
  • Kit contents:
    • 2 Front adjustable coil over shocks with matched coil springs
    • 2 Billet aluminum mounts
    • 2 Rear aluminum body shocks w/ internal floating pistons
    • 2 Fox mud guard/roost guard for added shock protection
The Ford kit is described as "plug and play" (let's call that a bolt-on) so aside from an alignment and maybe some threaded ride height adjustment, installation should be easy DIY.
The Ford kit has a remote reservoir on the rear (useful for distance driving and towing to keep the shock cooler.)
The Roush Fox kit has stone guards on the rear dampers to protect the shaft.
The "old" Ford leveling kit was Fox:

$1500+ is high price for a pair of coilovers and a pair of shocks; non-adjustable, so the ride and performance is one size fits all.

For some, the advantage would be this is a Ford part and dealer installed.

Interesting. I've been waiting to install a level kit until Ford came out with one themselves. I've run Fox 2.0 on my last two F150's, and loved them. However, I also ran Bilstein 5100 and I hated them due to the overly stiff ride. Hopefully this new Ford kit will be better tuned than off the shelf 5100's.

Apparently Ford and Bilstein are not on the same page.
Bilstein aftermarket tech and management know nothing about this.
I emailed tech and was responded to with 3 cc's that they do not know anything about this.
Maybe it's top secret or BS.

I think it’s BS. !
Both Ford Performance and Fox have told me there is a new application coming out for the Ford 2021-22 F-150.
NOBODY knows anything about Ford Performance/Bilstein coil over shocks For F-150. That was fake news by Ford Authority.
