I have an 03 F-250 5.4 and it's time to replace the shocks all around. I have found a skyjacker set for right around $40 a shock or some Rancho's that are around $90. I know Rancho's parent company designs the oem stuff for the super duty's but are they worth the price. My truck rides on a stock suspension and I almost never go offroad. I was just wondering what you guys where using and if they are good/bad shocks.

 

I've never been a fan of Rancho no matter what the vehicle.

IMHO, for off road Bilstein's are about the best, for street I am partial to KYB, especially for the Ford trucks. I had KYB's on my F150 and loved them.

 

Rancho's all around for me.

 

Do an FTE search on the Rancho RS9000XL shocks. There are some good reviews.

 

Bilstien 5100's on all my trucks F-150's -F350's...they are awesome.

Rancho RS5000s on my truck

 

i just got a new set of Yellow Monroes. 2 for $90. that was all that napa had in stock.
i got rear ended and needed a new set cause my other ones were bent and wouldnt move at all.

 

Right now we are offering our No Limits rebate on our shocks.
They are made in the USA.
The Rs9000XL's come with a 90 risk free trial offer, you don't like them return them for a refund.
Limited Lifetime Warranty (save that receipt!)
9 points of adjustablity. Most run lower around town, bump it up to tow.

The RS5000's are a great shock as well.
good luck in your choice.
PM if you have any questions.

 

X2 on the Bilsteins

 

+1 I bought my 9000XLS last year with the rebate. LOVE them!

FYI I DID NOT care for the 5000 series, tried them twice on 2 Ford trucks, spend the extra, get the 9000 series.

 

I like the Bilsteins, 5100 series

 

I have the 5000's and there nice ,but I wish I would have bought 9000's!

 

Can't really debate here since I have no clue about the "nice" shocks. My truck is coming up on 200K and I wasn't looking to put much in it. I purchased the Monroe GasMagnums and they are much better than the stock. Then again, I bought the truck with 180K and the original shocks, so my "original" might not be the best.

I can tell you that I ordered all four and they were a little over $100. I am completely satisfied with them too.
