  • I have some Rancho RS9000 shocks. This is the second pair I have had on the truck. The first set lasted about 110,000 miles on the rear with the front still working at 130,000 miles. They are adjustable so you can compensate for different loads, roads and weather conditions. Unfortunately, unless you get the package to use a remote adjustment from inside the cab, you have to reach under the truck to change the settings. Other than that they are terrific.
  • Had Bilsteins on a F250 for 8 years, it sold with them still in place - no complaints .
    satisfied .
  • i Had the bilstein 5100's (zinc colored ones not the yellow ones) on my 2006 and they were so very good shocks. I will put those on my 2013 when the time comes for replacement
