NEW BILSTEIN 5100's installed
Truck is a 2008 F-350 gas Strictly used for plowing and landscaping.
Was a toss up between the Ranchos and the Bilsteins but after reading pages and pages of threads I decided to go with the Bilsteins
What a difference to say the least. Truck is responsive, hits bumps and comes right back. Glad I did them and the steering stabilizer
The old set on the truck were labeled monroe so I guess they were replaced at one point. You can see the pic, a few of them were falling apart and they all had little to no rebound

They definitely are rough riding but what can you expect from an F350. I put a set on my SILVERADO 2500HD and it definitely rides rougher but stays planted better. With the old stock shocks I had a lot more floating.
I smile in the winter they way these handle my Western Wide out plow and full salter. Its like a different truck.

I can say that they're worth it. Just put 4 new 5100's on my truck with the 2 inch lifted springs. Still rough, but so much better than before. Just like mattymax's picture, my fronts are totally different lengths. One rebounded a tiny bit and the other stayed the way it was when I yanked it.
