shocks
Hey Guys did alot of searching about shocks. Trying do decide between Rancho 9000xls or the Edelbrock IAS. It seems that Bilsteins are the shock of choice but was leaning towards the Ranchos because I plow with the truck and tow alot. Plus could Bilstein make an uglier color dont think I could live with that yellow/blue combo Thanks for your imput

I have the Rancho RSXs and I hate them. I had the Edelbrock IAS on a '95 F-150 and I absolutely loved them. I wish I would have put them on this SD, but I was trying to save a few bucks.
I would get the Edelbrocks or Bilsteins...

i currently have Gabriel Max Control shocks from Auto Zone... i picked them over the Bilsteins due to that fact i didn't have to order them and i haven't been disappointed with them, plus i have a one year warranty that i just return them to Auto Zone instead of dealing with an online dealer.. for 55 bucks a piece they are good.
oh i think Auto Zone will order the Edelbrocks for you (well mine would have)

Bilsteins are clearcoated now, not that ugly blue/yellow they had before. At least the 4" lift ones I got were, maybe the OEM ones are still ugly.

I think the factory spec Bilsteins are still yellow. This will be my replacement shock of choice for both my F-350 and the wifes Tahoe. I too am not a fan of the yellow color so I will hit them with some black spray paint prior to installing them. Personally, I'd rather spend a few dollars on paint then have inferior shocks.
