Which shocks to get?

Jeremyleggett07 · Jul 20, 2011

Ok my 05 F350 has almost 195k on it and I'm sure it has original Rancho shocks. I have only owned the truck for 1.5 years. I have 2.5" blocks in the front, and I know the original ones barely made it back on. Which ones do y'all recommend??

Dont know if your still looking or not but ill throw my .2 cents worth. I just install KYB MonoMax and love them. Also heard great things about Bilsteins.

Are your KYB's the red ones and where did you get them from? Did they ask you for your wheelbase or how did they know the right valving.

I had rancho 9000s on my last truck and I liked them.... Never had any problems. I think I am going to try some of Icons signature shocks this time tho.

My rancho 9000's have lasted a long time with no issues, some like the bilstens. Most
anything less will get trashed in 60k and will have to be replaced. Like most things ya
get what ya pay for.

How much do the Rancho 9000's cost compared to the bilstein's?

Well I Ordered the bilsteins and they were under $400 shipped

Just a FYI but I've personally put 300k and 180k on sets of Bilsteins..still on the trucks as far as I know..Have customers with well over 100k on them also..
