I think at46000 mi I done milked the stock shocks for all there worth. : :<br>So here is the $200-$300 question.<br>Wich shocks should I buy ???<br>Wait<br>Wait<br>Wait....................... .......................................<br><br>Ok--------------- Let me have it :P :P (I asked for it) ;D

 

Ther are three different shocks I keep hearing that people love.<br><br>Bilsteins<br>Ranchos<br>Edelbrock<br> <br>My opinion is that they are all good. There are some places to get deals on them. Those that have each of these will swear by them.<br>

 

My vote is for the Edelbrocks (see sig) - no dial to tweak, no compressor to deal with.<br><br>Bilsteins I have had on lighter vehicles were always very good and if you tow/haul alot of different weights the Rancho RS900s with in-cab adjust are great.<br><br>There you have it - one person, three opinions - still your choice.<br><br>BTW - ALL of them are pricey.

 

F.Y.I.,Summit has a special going til June-buy 3 Rancho's get one free.I got all 4 9000's for around $250....Doug

 

C'mon NAIL BENDER, tell it like it is!

 

Rancho 9000x's, got all four from Billy Bobs offroad for 239.00. The ride is great.

 

Guess I'm gonna go rancho,??? has anyone used the RSX, instead of the 9000's

 

I have the RS9000X's on my truck w/ in cab remote... If you going to get the remote system, check out Mark's Custom Stuff for the brass fittings to use instead of the cheap plastic ones that come with the system... :

 

Casting my vote for the Bilstein's. $64.95 each (no freight) from your local Autozone. That way if anything ever goes wrong with them, easy to return. Difference of nite and day from the OEM shocks.

 

I went to 4 wheelparts today.<br>they out of the rancho 9000 <br>and into the pro comp es 9000<br>These are nitrogen charged but non adjustable<br>I got 4 shocks, boots and a steering stabalizer for $200<br>they had a special for free install but they cant install do them till april 7th.<br>I might just go get the shocks and blow off the free install.<br>I don't like others working on my truck &gt;

Those of you with the Rancho 9000X's, do you really notice a difference in ride? I installed a set of them on my 99 2500 4x4 and I noticed no difference from the stock shocks. I have tried different adjustments on them and still notice no difference. I think I have them all on 3 right now (no remote).<br>Am I just not holding my mouth right? ???<br><br>Thanks,<br>Chris

When empty I put the rears down to 5. I can feel the difference. <br><br> Do you have the in cab remote? I heard they don't retain their setting for very long.

 

No remote for me. Gotta crawl around under the truck when changing settings.<br><br>Chris

 

Bilsteins ;D
