New Shocks

Hey guys, I have a 2006 and it's a pretty rough ride unless I am towing, any recommendations for new shocks to help smooth it out when I'm just driving down the road? It's to the point I feel like Jim Carry in the second pet detective movie where he was just jumping around on the road. My goal is to still be able to tow whatever I want to but still have a smooth ride while I'm not towing. Kind of vague I know

I'd recommend the Bilstein 5100s. Let me know when you are ready to order

Tried to check your website, Blistein 5100- no results, shocks- 40 sumthing pages skimmed through and saw more Rancho’s than I knew they made.

How much do you want to spend? You can get a ride you wouldn’t believe in your truck...but it would cost A LOT. 😬

Or you can get a “better than it is now”/more than acceptable ride with Bilstein 5100, Fox, etc and not have to pay an arm and a leg 😉

If you want to go that route I can get you a price. I don't have them listed.

I went with rancho 9000. All 4 are adjustable. Floats like an old Lincoln when set to 1. I have body roll with a 4 inch lift.

Set on 9 it's pretty rough unloaded. Nice ride loaded.
