Need Front Shocks D350
Need front shocks for a D350 and the Rancho RS5199 are to short.
It must be the one for the 3000 lb frontend.
What shocks are you guys using on the D350 front end.
Thanks

I went with Bilsteins and I'm very happy with their performance. They actually work as advertised! I got them from Shock Warehouse. Genos Garage also carries them.

I talked to Rancho and I was told the shock has a rubber bumper stop built into the shock. So it will be shorter until I hit the stop. OK

3000lb front end?

your truck being a D350 has a 4000lb front end.

Gas truck shocks will not work on a cummins truck, they are too short.

I'd go with the blisteins. They have a good warranty and are rebuildable.

Talk to Joe at Rancho and they only sell the shock for the 3000 LB front end and that will not work on the 4000 LB front end. RS5199 will not work!

I just got a set of premium shocks from NAPA, and they worked great for me.
