Rancho Shocks

???Does anyone know if Rancho RS9000 shocks are available for the 2003 Ram 3500? Keep hearing conflicting info on other forums. Some say the 2002 part number will fit but can not confirm with Rancho or their venders. ???

I called Rancho tech support and they stated that it would be mid-summer before they had them for the Ram 3500. ??? ???

Re:Rancho Shocks

Thanks Phil! I'll call Rancho back on Monday to double check. Are you planning on adding them to your truck? If so keep us posted.

Re:Rancho Shocks

Will these soften the ride any? My 4 month old son can barely stand it back there. The roads here are horrible and wake him up :'( :'(. Will they take that 'edge' off?

PADZZ<br>Don't know if they would soften ride at all. What I'm looking for is sway control. Had them on 97 F-250 and they were great.

Re:Rancho Shocks

The empty ride on my 2500 is softer with the Rancho's. Note that I did not say it was good, only softer. A few sandbags behind the rear wheel well make a big difference.
