I heard Monroe and Rancho are the owned by the same company.

I have the 58650 Install on my 05 Dakota
I forgot to measure the change in height before and after the swap. But it seems around a inch or so.

I have only towed a small trailer since I installed them, Have not hauled anything heavy either.

I did move a Cable Spool Trailer at my work, which was about 2500lbs on a pintle hitch, and the truck dropped about a inch


Edit: I compressed them into place with a floor jack, Pass side one was a pain tho
Reject, did you have any issues with the coil overs interfering with the cable going across the frame near the driver's shock? I know some people are worried about cutting it and I haven't driven it enough to say.

I don't think the Borla cat-back system is available anywhere anymore. It was part # 140159.

I have Magnaflow and love it.

I cut the mounts for that cable and repositioned it and zip tied the cable to a better location on the frame so it did not rub off the coilover..I don't think it is something to be too concerned over but it is a good precaution to take!
