I had Bilstein's on my Chevy...may have to check out the Carli's. I know the two companies work hand in hand.

I just called Rancho and they told me they dont offer the RS9000's for the 2012 F-250 Super Duties.

I just put 9000XL's all the way around on my 2011 350 a few weeks ago. Night and day difference on the ride. I love this truck even more now. The stock ranchos have motorcraft stamped into them. I don't even think they're "ranchos" I think they're just ford shocks, and ford got the rights from rancho to put their sticker on them.

Funny here is the page on their website that lists them...
Rancho Suspension: Suspension » 2011 - 2012 F250 / F350 Super Duty 4WD Suspension Systems, Lift Kits, Leveling Systems & Shocks

This has been the issue with Rancho, that there is conflicting information floating around.

Read this thread if you want the nitty gritty.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...zer-video.html

But the net is the fronts everyone agrees on as a 999042
but its the rears that the conflict arises, at least it is down to 2 numbers and people have both installed and working fine....999047 or 999254.

Ok - so where did you get those and what is the part number?

I did a search and all I could find was $2500+ kits!

Sorry boss, I was just kiddin'
As far as I know King does not make an OE replacement for these trucks.
You have to get them from Carli with their suspension systems for around $4,120.00. But it is a great system!

I was told the same thing when I emailed the tech guys...they even denied having anything for the 2011. And I would have explained how to get there but it was easier to just post it.

That's a better question for the Rancho Rep.

I think his handle is Rancho Shock, but I can't seem to find the thread....hopefully he will reply to you because he never replied to me.

on Rancho's facebook page they posted a 2012 f250 with 4" lift and rancho 9000 shocks so I commented and asked for the 2011 F250 stock height part numbers and they responded with Front=RS999042XL (2) Rear=RS999254XL(2)
