Which is the Best Shock

I have a 96 7.3 powerstroke, stocker...........I spend 8 months a year continually going up and down a chuck hole dirt road.......I am looking for a great shock with a lifetime warranty and a company that will intall and service them......someone like Schwab does with it tires.........there have probably been a lot of you here before me.............So is there a Company which sells, maintains and warranties a lifetime shock which will last and get the job done with a no BS warranty when it comes time

well shocks take ten minutes and can be done while your truck is on the driveway.

i have bilsteins. iirc correctly its everything you are looking for in a shock and warranty just be sure to keep your receipts.

btw i like mine. it rides much better than it did with the tired stockers. installed for about 2 years now and no problems.

more than some cheaper than others.

I run Les Schwab's Mountain Riders, but no off-road or rough stuff. 400k on truck, 1st set at 120k, 2nd set free at 280k.

I use rancho on my offroad vehicles. They make a pretty good shock as well. I am not sure of their warranty as I never had to use it.
