I Like the Rancho 9000X's , the adjustment is nice . I live in a nice weather climate so mine look like new and have been great. Lifetime warranty !
I have heard great things about the Bilsteins also.

I think they are sponsor and have a special discount for FTE members. Don't know what it is but I am sure a search will find it.

If you go to shockwarehouse and enter FORD5 in the promo code you will get an additional 5% OFF. Last week I ordered the "regular" HD shocks for a non-lifted truck and it was $194 total for 4 shocks. My truck is a 2001 with the original shocks and 157,000 miles so I am hoping this will be big improvement.

I had Bilsteins on my 97' F-350 twice, 100,000 miles a set and loved them. Had one that leaked and eshocks.com (which is local to me) replaced it under warranty.
Just got a 2002 F-350 and putting HD Bilsteins on it. Much better than the stock shocks with 70,000 miles on them.

I just put on RS9000XL's which is Rancho's new adjustable shock. They have a 2.75" (70mm) body & .71" (18mm) chrome rod & are 9 way adjustable. RANCHO Shocks - RS9000XL I paid $400.00 for the set.
The jury is still out for me as I've hardly driven it since but I have a couple of friends that have the older RS9000's & they love em.
