Will Rancho Shocks Help?
Hi all,
I’m new to the forum so I’ve been kind of trolling the board looking for some hints and tips.
I have a 2008 Crew Cab and so far I’m satisfied with everything except the suspension.
The problem is the truck tends to drift around during highway driving right around 65mph+. Driving around town between speeds of 30 to 50mph the truck tracks perfect and the alignment is perfect.
I’m wondering if upgrading the shocks will possibly eliminate the drift or should I be looking in the area of upgrading the stock tires?
Has anyone tried Rancho RS5000’s and if so did you see any handling improvement.
Thanks for the help.

the tuner is alot of fun too! but if you go the tuner route you should at least upgrade with a CAI (and) exhaust to optomize the gains from it! the struts are a cheaper upgrade and will make it feel like a truck should! my exhaust is kinda extreme but a nice catback and a intake arent very costly either.... enjoy
oops! i just read your upgrades.... your ready for a tuner! and throw away that chip you have! put a 180 t-stat in while your at it!

I have noticed the drifting on my 07, too!!! I just bought mine (23K). I have also noticed alot of bouncing when hitting rough spots on the road (don't like that)!!!
Looks like I'm going to get a set of these Rancho's 5000's too!!! Thanks.
BTW- I had a 97 dakota and I don't remember the truck riding as bad as this one. Is it just me?
