Rancho vs Bilstein?

Does anyone know if one is better than the other. I have 115,000 miles on the original shocks and I think it is time for a new set. I know that Rancho also carries the steering stabilizer, does Bilstein also have a steering stabilizer? What kind of mileage should I see out of the shocks?

Thanks, Bryan

No question that Bilstein is better. Hands down. Take a look at almost every desert racing truck out there and tell me how many run Bilsteins compared to Ranchos. I've run both, and there is no comparison. Bilstein is a much better shock.

Ok, that solves that problem. What about a steering stablilzer? Does Blistein have one that will work on the truck? Otherwise who makes a good one.

Bilstein does not make a steering stabilizer. I wish they would, they would sell plenty. I'm still looking for a suitable stabilizer and considering a dual opposing set up over a single.
