Shock replacement
I was wondering' at haw many miles you guys replace your stock shocks. I was looking at some Bilstein HD Shocks on tire rack. Are these any good? any Suggestions? My dad has Rancho RS9000 that is 8 or 9 way adjustable on blazer and he likes them.
Oh yeah, i was also looking for somthing that won't raise it too much, another inch higher, and it won't fit in the garage. I want it to be the same height, mabey a little higher, it can't be lower, I hate the look of lowered trucks.

RE: Shock replacement
I don't use a mileage yardstick. I just bounce on the bumpers every so often to make sure they're OK. The shocks on all my Dodges have been the originals. I "got some air" over a nearby rail crossing a couple of weeks ago just to be sure. These shocks are approaching 96K and they're still tight. The flip side of that is my F-150 needed front shocks at about 70K, and my Chevy 1500 needed new ones at around 40K.

RE: Shock replacement
ya but the shocks keep the springs a little more compressed, because i pulled out my shocks and drove around a bit and it was higher because the shocks hold the control arms closer. so a longer shock would mean that it wont be all the way stretched and will give the truck a little more height.
