Are Stock 4th Gen 1500 Rear Shocks Really That Bad?

Every single OEM gen 4 suspension part is junk.

Agreed! Some of the best mods I did to my 2016 was swapping the rear sway bar, panhard bar and shocks.

My 2017 with 140xxxkm still has factory shocks. They ride well imo and I've been keeping a close eye on them. I bought bilstein 5100s before covid that will go on when the factory shocks/struts wear out.
