People like the 9000s, but I'm a Bilstein kinda guy. The Germans are good at making shocks among several other things.

I'm with Razzi on this one, I had 9000's on my previous excursion but now use the bilsteins on my current Ex. I prefer the ride from the bilsteins.

I have 9000xls now can't speak for blistens. But I hear they are good also. Defiantly wait for a rancho sale. When i got mine in the spring sale, with the ranch rebates and the auto anything discount they were around 350. I like my 9000 have no complaints

Advance Auto and online coupon codes. Break it up into multiple purchases and you'll get $50 off each shock.

One thing I can't figure on any of them is what part numbers for mine since it's a cab chasis. I see glimpses where they say cab chasis but no5 where I am confident i4 is what I need.

Oh Sean--I guess they gor the fire put out?
