Shocks Replaced

Just replaced the oem shocks on my 2015 F250 4x4 crewcab FX4. I believe the oem shocks were Rancho 5000 series. The truck has just over 43 000kms (26 000 miles) on it. The ride was always rough, jarring.

Considered Bilstein 5100's and Fox shocks but went with Rancho RS9000XL's. What an improvement so far, a ride that isn't so harsh & jarring. So far impressed.

Everything I've ever read about the FX4 trucks is the Rancho's Ford used pretty much sucked. Swapping to the 9000's seemed to be what most people do.
