That's bunk. I've got'em on mine. Had'em on for a few months now.

I was told that they didnt make those shocks for my 03.I think that was a bunch of BS if u ask me.I should have bought the rachos for my truck.I think i could have matched them up.

I just ordered my Rancho 9000 shocks and controller from Sam's Off Road. I hope they come in time for a Labor Day weekend install. Good price, no CA sales tax and free shipping.

I inquired about Bilstein shocks as they have a good reputation and was told that Bilstein won't have a shock for 05/06 SD's until early next year.

I have Rancho 9000's on my Bronco and they have performed very well for 70K!

Tonnico makes rancho, and oe ford shocks (they also make dynomax-shhhh!).

i replaced my 9000x adjustables on my 03 with bilstiens...now my front 4-6" lift ranchos have no home

if you have a home for em, pm me.

i would advise bilstiens over the ranchos, and for the same dadgummed price, you have no reason to waste your time, or money on rachos......but, to each their own!!!!

Yes, Tenneco owns Rancho.
Please share the facts on why you advise Bilstein over Rancho. Thanks!
