I read most of your discussions about Bilsteins and Procomp shocks. I just need a soft ride. Any help would be most appreciated.
the oem ford Rancho's are a joke thanks to ford specs

From: at the truck pulls
I have an 11 F350 FX4, I have to agree the shocks seem to suck. I had Rancho 9000's on my 02 F250 and they were great. I started with the settings medium but shortly found the rears set at 1 and the front at 3 for a long long time. Then I tried the fronts at setting 1 also and that's the best ride of all.

I am really leaning toward getting another set, but I just laid out 1600 for the new BFG's.
