Shocks for towing

[superih]

Need some opinions on shocks, my 1999 F-350 is used for hauling my gooseneck loaded around 20,000 lbs. I have been running some RS 9000's which worked okay but are now worn out.

Any advice on some good shocks for this application that won't break the bank? I called ICON and am still in shock about the $330 a piece price he quoted me over the phone.

Bilstein

They look like a nice product for around $100, not bad

You wore out rs 9000 adjustable ?

Have you tried to get them replaced under warranty they are the best option being adjustable IMHO

I had 1 die and no questions asked it was swapped out

Pm Cary at ct performance for some. He will get you fixed up

I like adjustables for towing so I can make the rear stiffer for the weight and have a little better ride without the weight.

lc, what did you come up with for some shocks?

I went with Bilstein, haven't even got them on yet. Ever since I put the RS-9000's on a 100,000 miles ago I was never impressed with the ride. Hopefully theses are better.

update- Swapped all 4 shocks out, the rear Rancho's were oil covered and one was completely trashed, 4 new Bilstein's and it rides real nice now.

Take the shocks off the back of your truck and let me know how far you could herd the thing down the rode?
