Happy holidays everybody! Since there's all kinds of sales going on this weekend and Cyber Monday, I'm thinking about upgrading the shocks on my '00 F250 4x4. It's got a 6" lift on it and rides like an old wagon down the Oregon trail. It's beating me and the whole suspension of the truck to death. The current setup is BDS shocks that look pretty rough.
I had my heart set on some Rancho RS9000XL's, but my wallet says otherwise. Any recommendations for some smooth riding shocks for a lifted truck? I know, lifted trucks don't ride smooth, blah blah blah. But anything has to be better than what I'm rolling now.
Other than base grade Gabriels from a big box parts store, Most any upgrade shock will be an improvement. There are some good package deals on Ebay- I bought a set of Procomp's for my old Dodge. They greatly improved the ride, and didn't empty my wallet.
i was thinking about expensive adjustable shocks, but ended up going with the cheapest option at big o tires, the difference was amazing, rides so smooth now.
Any experience with these guys? The Skyjackers are the cheapest, but I know 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay the extra $40 to get the Procomp's or the Rancho's if they'll be better.
So I've finally got the cash to upgrade my shocks. Just one problem. Measurements. My truck has a 6" lift and the static position of current front shocks is 22".
Anyhow, I don't really feel like crawling under my truck with 3" of snow on the ground. So I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there with a 6" lift on a 2000 F250 and what their measurements are for extended and compressed lengths of their shocks? I was thinking about winging it, but this is probably better, lol. Thanks!
