Be careful on the shock purchase......it seems like different websites will specify different model numbers for a given vehicle....big variance on compressed, extended, and shock travel lengths.
Also, some outlets don't honor the lifetime warranties...the discount outlets with the yummy prices do that by taking the warranty out of the pictures.

same problem with rebates.

Heck, I replaced bilsteins with monroe reflex about a year ago. My truck has never ridden better! Lifetime warranty from Oreillys too.

I just installed Sulastic Shackles on my truck. Buy them. Worth every penny of the $400 price tag. Easy instal if you are at all handy. You will not be disappointed.

Just did the same last week. 2004 F250 109k with the factory Rancho's. Bilsteins made a difference.

My original factory shocks were shot by 30K.

I replaced them with a set of Rancho adjustable 9000's . Initially, the ride was good, but after 40-50K miles, it's been questionable. I also swapped out the factory steering stabilizer with a Rancho and it died within a year. The seller nor Rancho will honor the lifetime warranty and have blown me off 3 times.

Rancho, you have a not-happy camper here.

I'm tempted to swap out the whole thing with a set of Bilsteins very soon.
