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

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

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!
