Bilstein HD shocks

Has anybody put on the Heavy Duty Bilstein shocks (the blue and yellow ones) on their F-250/F-350? These shocks say they are made for the F-450 and F-550s--how do they work on the 250 and 350s? Or am I better off just going with the 5100 series?

I have recently, about a month ago, put the yellow/blue HD Bilstein shocks on my 03 Ex. I am happy with how they work on the front. But the rears are a disappointment.

They were good the forst week or two. But they have settled in and they are not as good as I would have liked.

They are certainly better than the old ones. Any new shock would. But, I can not recommend them above other shocks that are out there.

Especially considering that fact that I paid a premium cost for them.
