Keep in mind folks thats 80000 miles of southern California roads, lol

 

Which is like 80,000 off road miles.

 

I have a set of 5000's in my garage that were on my Excursion for about 2 weeks when I decide to replace them with 9000's....

Wonder if they will work on the 13 350 ? or should I just do the 9000's now...

I did contact Rancho and they no longer offer their myride remote control... which I wanted

 

I added 9000's all around last summer and I'm thinking of fabrcating a dual shock mount so I can add a second set in the front.

I find with the 9000's the warning about not cutting the straps is not warranted. I find the 9000's to be have more like stabilizers than shocks. difference being traditional shocks will try to expand if you let them go. The 9000s seem to stay where ever you position them...but you got to be hercules to move them thru ther travel range.

 

I recently purchased the 7000 series for my F250 & ended up sending them back (they offer a 90 day ride guarantee) STIFF as a BOARD
Upgraded to the adjustable 9000 series, now these are freakin awesome

Here's my Thread on it, u can start on Pg.3

He ran them for 80000 miles and loved them, lol

 

Yeah i posted without reading the whole thing Miles...lol
I did just update my post a little to make it look like I didn't read half-a**'d
& I added a link to my Thread

 

Lol I wasn't sure if you read it or not. Maybe I am just too used to trucks that ride rough because I think my 7000s srill ride pretty good. Or maybe its my lift springs, the 7000s on my old truck with stock springs definitely rode worse...it was also a gasser though so no weight on them

 

Dude, you drive a lot!!!!
RS9000's

 

Yeah what he said

 

PFT one pothole...come to Mass near me a paved road is like finding Megan Fox in your bed when you wake up and somehow being married to her and inheriting all her money as well.

Anyway lol I wish i had a diesel because no matter what My truck rides like a brick with the 5.4l, good to hear they lasted you that long and drove great!

 

And that's why I need a lot from my shocks haha!

 

Its a lot more than one pot hole...trust me.

Back tires have become airborne at 65mph due to big bumps.

 

I have the Bilstein's on the rear but when I wanted to do the fronts, I saw the 7000MT's and decided to give them a try because they are monotube instead of twin tube (hence the MT).

To be fair, when I put them on, I also put new sway bar endlinks and bushings on at the same time as well as a steering stabilizer. My truck is a 2002, 5.4L with 135k miles at the time.

The front of my truck feels like NEW!! I am VERY happy with these shocks!

 

lol I know, just screwing with ya. Kinda sounds like fun after you get used to it, otherwise it crap myself the first few times.
