rancho RS9000X shocks on 06 dodge

Has anybody put a set of these on there 06 dodge? Also I would like to know if it made the ride any better or stiffer for highway driving. Iwould like to put a set of new shocks on the old girl. But I don't want a stiffer ride than the stock ones. There has to be a better shock than the stock ones out there somewere.

Mine is an 04.5, but I don't think they changed anything between 03 an 06 as it relates to shocks.

The Rancho 9000s are awesome in my opinion. No comparison to the stocker shocks. They ride much better and allow the truck to handle better too. Currently, I have my front shocks set on 7 and the rears on 3 (while empty). That is the nice thing about these Rancho shocks is being able to "tune" them in to what you need them to do.

The Cummins is very heavy and I have a Ranch Hand front end w/winch that weighs another 400lbs. So I adjusted them to 7 and that seems about right.

The rear of the truck is lighter so I figured 3 would be fine empty, but if I were to load it down I could easily adjust it up.

I hear Bilstein shocks are good too, but they are not adjustable. I have no regrets about the Ranchos and would definately buy them again.

I just put some on my 05 and I could not be happier with the adjustability and durability of them.

P.S. I'm not a Rancho fan either

I'm using the same settings as TexasCTD empty. Personally I think they are well worth the money.
