Shocks

I see Bilsteins posted all the time on this forum. However, I have to ask, does anybody run the Rancho 9000 XL? I've personally been curious about this shock. It's an adjustable shock so you can set it to a softer setting for daily driving duties and then set it so something more aggressive for towing when you need more dampening.

I tried a set and they were shot after 6 months. I put the factory Rancho's back on.

4600's on the 2011 RAM Dually really smoothed out the bumps!

Front of current 15 RAM Dually, they don't make then for the rear factory air.

Yepper, 4600's here front and rear

X4!
Running Bil's 5100's couldn't be better.

What Ntrouble said. Waaaaay better than stock. I also replaced the steering damper with a Bilsteins. Also a noticeable improvement.

4600s are for heavy towing
5100s are a bit softer. Made for both lifted AND stock height.

Had 4600s on last truck and 5100s on current truck. Prefer the 5100s as this truck is also a daily driver.

Either way can't really go wrong when compared to the **** stock shocks GM puts on these trucks. Three of mine were gone at 22k miles when I put on the bilsteins. I will never own another truck with factory shocks.

I replaced my OEMs with Bilstien 4600 front and rear on my 2010 Ram 3500 4x4 SRW megacab. My 5er is a 2014 Keystone Alpine 3500 RE which is almost 39' long and about 14K lbs. No more bouncing and feels better on rough pavement on the road. Best price I found autoanything.com with 20% discount beat amazon and pepboys. Side note - don't know if it is true or not but told Bilstien 5100 are for lifted trucks?? Nicer solid ride when not towing than OEMs.
