Yet another shock question
Okay, I apoligize for asking much of the same question here, but I have search previous posts and looking for some info that fit my bill a little more.
So here goes, I have a 2000 4wd c.c., long bed,drw, with a stroker. I am looking to go with either the Rancho 9000's or the Bilstein's, I've seen lot's of positives for the Bil's, but I like the idea of the adjustibility of the 9's since the bed of my truck can go from one extreme to the other. I usually run with about 200-300 lbs of tools at the front, up high, with 3-4 passengers and later that day I may run with a couple thousand pounds of drywall and no passengers. All of this while cruisin the streets of northwest Illinois (you know our conditions). So anybody else out there with the same requirements that's happily running one or the other? Thanks in advance to all who are out there for all the help I've received without having to ask.

Thanks Wlihntr, are you running the in-cab, or are you just twisting them manually? and how often have you had to adjust the fronts? I have been leaning more to the 9's just because of the ability to adjust them.

Thanks guys!! I have been doing a LOT of reading of previous threads, and every time I think I made my final decision, I change it. But still leaning pretty much to the 9's, the idea of a firm ride from the Bil's conjures up images of the thump-thump feeling over every bump in the road I had with an old lifted, solid axle cheby, not thinking that's what I want. Thanks again.
