your prob. right about that wildfire, but do you really think bilsteins are that good? I`m considering pro-comp mx6`s. Now if you go resivior i would think kyb,fox. I`m assuming they make shocks for pick-ups

I`m not doubting them that much, i know they are top quality. I have a buddy that bought them for a s/d with a 9` utlitty body and they didnt seem that great to me, its also got a powerstroke in it witch i`m sure makes a big difference. He`s also pretty rough on things. I liked the mx6`s cause they are matched to your truck alittle more.

If you have your mind made up on the mx6's, get the mx6's, and
ignore what everybody else's opinion is on best shocks!!

Buy 'em and try 'em. Anything is better than the stock shocks.

Rancho 9000x I have them and love them!!
But I upgraded to in cab remote which made it so much easyer to adjust them on the fly.
