Rancho v Bilstein

I am in a quandary!
I have been debating whether to fit Rancho 9000 or Bilstein shocks to my 2001 F-250 PSD.

From what I have read so far, Bilstein appears to have the edge.

Ranchos seem to be freely available but I can not find a dealer near me in Austin, Texas who sells/fits Bilstein shocks.

Anyone who can tell me where to "buy" Bilsteins - their website kinda sux!

Also, any ideas on price differences? Ranchos I can get for $70/80 each - I have no idea on the Bilsteins (I am looking at the 5100 series)

Thanks

I was just looking at the 2002 Ford truck brochure. They had a performance 4x4 Ranger that comes with Bilsteins and the performance F150 came with a different brand, which I think was Rancho. I got my Bilsteins at Don's Sport 800-303-6211. They just got a truckload of bilsteins in. I think I paid $65 each for my fronts on the '95 F150.
