We are finishing our third major trip (5000 miles or more) in three years and I am noticing a bit more bounce than in the past. My F-150 4x4 is my day to day vehicle it is going on 5 years old and ...
I've got the Rancho 9000XL's on my truck, and am quite happy with them. I chose them over the Bilstein's because the tube and the rod are much larger diameter.

I would not recommend them for a truck or for towing.
