I voted Rancho cause I just put these on and really like them. I have used the Bil's but on other trucks before and liked them. Cant go wrong with either but the fact of adjusting the Rancho's is nice!!

Bilstein.
AFAIK they were the inventors of the mono-tube gas shock. The mono-tube design just seems to outperform all twin-tube designs (including Rancho). Bilstein is the only aftermarket shock I'll ever run on any vehicle!

Nobody will listen until Donahoe posts a part number for Dodge applications. They're screwing themselves, if you ask me. They could put together a nice lift quite easily for these trucks.

Cowboy 6 is correct. Bilstein is by far the better shock on that list. The construction and design of the others is marginally better than the stock pieces of crap.

I've had good luck with the Rancho's, the adjustabilty is great. The in cab adj. option would be real handy so you wouldn't have to reach under the truck to adjust. Lifetime warranty never hurts either.

I've only had them for few days, but that's how I would describe it too. Definitely more firm, but way less "bouncy". With the stock shocks the truck would continue bouncing long after each bump in the road. The Bilsteins feel much more stable and provide a better feedback of the road surface.
