Need New Shocks
My '08 Dodge is due for some shocks. I see Rancho has their 4 for 3 deal going on (RS9000XL). I like the adjustable shocks for more options. However, I have read that Bilsteins might be better for ...

The tech only said that the 9000XL can be dialed down to a softer ride when the camper is off the truck, where the ride with the 7000MT will be firmer.
If you read the description of the 7000MT on the Rancho website, they do mention it is made for trucks that haul with a high center of gravity. Sounds like a TC would fall into that category.
The 9000XL description only heralds the adjustability of the shock, not their particular applications.
Since adjusting the 9000XL would be a royal PITAS on my dually, I am going to try a set of 7000MT. I will get them installed later this month and will report back as how they compare to the OEM's and Bilstein 5100's.
Interesting. Please report back after you install them and let us know what you think (loaded/unloaded).
I have been reluctant to install the 9000's as here in New England I am pretty darn sure you won't be adjusting anything after 1 winter! (Yes I have seen the thread about repairing the adjusting knob...I cant see me doing this 1x/2x per year...).
The 7000 sounds like they might be just right.
