I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about your question. I just wanted to say I like your truck.

In my lil experience ...

Have tried multiples and wanted the Rancho adjustables again,
but trying to be stingy bought the non adjustable ranchos....

While ride fine and all, the adjustability is REALLY missed....
Well worth the money to be able to air your tires up to max for mpg and lower the stiffness of the shocks for ride comfort...

just my $.000002 good luck
