My D was always rough even with the stockers and when I pulled them off I was able to compress them by hand. The ride is slightlystiffer nowbut my cornering became way better. If you feel you can't afford all 4 at once just do the front first wait a month then do the rear that way it won't hurt as much.

ORIGINAL: Big_GreenWat about Rancho they any good?
I love my Rancho 9000's.
The 9000 has adjustable dampening to go along with my added and arced rear leafs, and mild torsion bar lift. On the highway I set the shocks to 80% tight, and the truck is a dream at 65mph. When I hit the bush, I set the shocks to 20% tight, and the offroad capability is great. It's the adjustability that made the decision easy for me. I definately recommend the Ranchos.

I went with Rancho RS2000's. Good price, on sale at Sears plus free install. Great on the road and decent offroad. If you mostly drive on the pavement then I recomend them.

Well price isnt an issue, im just looking for a good over all shock that will last me. Im either stuck on Rancho or Bilsteins? Gotta look around and find out some prices.
