Finally got my crappy OEM Rancho's replaced, replaced with the 5100 Bilsteins. I snapped a couple of pics of the OEM shocks because I recall someone mentioning that the OEM Rancho's will not rebound like the Bilsteins do because it is not gas pressurized. Well, the OEM Rancho's that came on my '11 SD tell me different:





Another telling tale is how easy they are to compress regardless if they rebound under their own pressure, which BTW my front OEM Rancho's didn't as you can tell from the pictures. As well, one front shock was much easier to compress than the other, hmmm. These shocks had a whopping 8500 miles on them and are now where they belong, the trash.

Rancho can back peddle about this situation all they want but in my opinion, they have severely cheapened their image by putting their name on such an inferior product thus ending any future relationship I will have with any of their products. Maybe Rancho's bean counters should have reconsidered prior to making the deal with Ford.
