Bilsteins are cheaper than the Rancho 9000XL by a few Andrew Jacksons.

I had an 01 F350. Bought it used and drove to the lake that first weekend. Hit a set of ruts in the gravel road and almost ended up in the ditch. I replaced the shocks the following week with stock type ones and what a difference. I guess all the old stock ones were completely shot.

If you really wanna go all out, you could see if you could get 'em to make a set o these for your truck.
LORD Corporation - Magneto-Rheological - Automotive Suspensions

Saw it in a youtube clip, they make 'em for the hummers for the military and the performance is pretty astounding.

Whole vid is here, shock stuff is around the 28 min mark.

Wish I had the cheese to get a setup like that.

FYI...Rancho has a $50 rebate on 4 5000s or $100 on 4 9000s if you buy them by Aug. 31.
