i have them for the rear, still stock up front (for now). made a difference, and i like the adjustability for having a load or not. i'm sure there are better ones, but these are way better than stock

Definately let us know how you like them. I really wanna put these shocks on my truck. How much were they apiece? I know i've priced them a few times and they are about $90 which would only be $360 for a set.

I think I am going to get the billsteins. I had the ranchos on a couple of my fords and wasnt too impressed. But, to each his own.

the rears are normal type shocks and like 90 a shock
the fronts are struts and are like 175 each
this is for 06+ram 1500 4x4's
the older models had regular shocks all around- so less expense

ahhhh gotcha, well can't wait to hear your thoughts on them. It will most likely push my thoughts on getting them to one way or the other.

Hey guys I was wondering what do you get out of upgrading shocks. Does the ride quality really improve? If so how?
I have plenty of experience with working on cars I just don't know much about updrades and hate to spend money and get no results. Around how many miles should you change shocks. I just went over 51K. And if this is not to far off what are the benefits of 180t Stat.
I've been a member here for a few days but I will posting some pics of my ride soon.
