Favorite shocks

Thanks for your input guys. I actually ended up getting rancho rs 9000s. they were a little pricey but well worth it!

That's what I got on my 08 F350 for hauling a truck camper. Very satisfied, just wish I could adjust them from the cab cause I'm no spring chicken anymore.

You can. They have a kit for that.

Ive got bilstiens on my dodge. Id buy em again. Great shock.

I have the Bilstein 5100's on my Jeep TJ Rubicon. They are tough but also ride well.

Bilsteins are great.  I put Edelbrock IAS shocks on my Dodge 2500 and have been very happy with them also.  A little cheaper than the Bilsteins.

If you have ever owned a quad or snowmobile and have shocks that are tuned to you and your riding you will know what I mean by having a rebuildable shock. If you wait for a shock to break even if it's under warranty that shock was shot long before that. My truck weighs 8K pounds those shocks take a hell of a beating especially the fronts (I drive a lot of dirt roads all year long) So it's worth ever penny of that $35 to have my fronts built to take the weight of my truck while the backs are built for a better ride. Bottom line a shock that's used much should be rebuilt at least every 2 years.

I was just looking for this thread, thanks Jim.

110k on my Rancho 9k's.  One of the rear bushings just let go.  Rancho said send both rear shocks to us along with your receipt and we will ship you 2 new ones.
I tried to get new fronts out of them too the guy laughed and said "I would if I could, I'm pushing it just giving you the 2nd rear one."

Save your Rancho receipts.........

So I finally got around to installing the rears this past weekend since I need the truck this coming weekend.  Obviously, I don't drive it very much.   
So I ripped out both front shocks just to check an one of them is toast, in and out just like butter.
I called Rancho and spoke with the guy I talked to back in early December.  He said "don't waste your time shipping them back, we don't want them and I believe you.  I'm looking at your receipt as we talk and I'll kick you down that front pair too.  You should have them on Wednesday."

That is some good service. A lot of companies could learn from them.

That's the reason I run Ranchos.  Talk to real people in America that actually know what their doing.

I'm partial to Monroe Sensa Trac shocks.  They have dramatically improved the combined on/off road drive of each truck I put them on.

I run em and am happy with them.  01 F-350.
