Question Time for Shocks

[RJDiesel]

It is time for me to change the shocks in my F250 and I was wondering what everybody thinks of the Rancho shock and how easy is it to replace them?

 

[bigrigr]

Piece of cake to replace, unless the bolts are rusted solid. Should be a couple of hours at the most. The rancho shoks are great if you do alot of off roading, or travel on rough roads. But most don't have the gas charge in them that really smooths the ride on the highway. Most guys on here reccommend the bilstiens for these trucks, I haven't experienced it for myself, but I believe that when i do them, I'll do bilstiens. jmo

Bilsteins are GREAT! I have been running them for several years and I would not have anything else, for my driving. I do drive mostly on the roadways, with some off road mixed in.

I put the factory Rancho's in mine and have been impressed in their handling and ride quality - I hear good things about Bilsteins but they are more money than Rancho's.

Just got the Rancho 9000 xs

50 bux a piece with rebate, They are adjustable and setting my fronts a little stiffer then the rear makes for a great ride in MY truck.

Your mileage may vary.........

Another vote for Bilsteins.

I spent the extra bucks, 130K ago.. after 2 other Brands.. Never looked back. Super good ride, even with 10 Ply, All Steel Belted Radials.

Good Stuff.

Got mine at.. Bilstein Shocks, KW Suspensions and much more: eShocks.com

I vote for the "Rancho 9000XS". You can't beat the adjustable 9000's!!

I put Monroe Gas Magnums on mine..
whatever you do, choose a mono-tube design (if the parts monkey doesn't know, walk out).
