New shocks installed!

I went with the Bilsteins. My truck is 2wd.

I have about 95k. The shocks I pulled off were Motocraft, so I am guessing orginal equipment.

The Bilsteins are great. I thought that the Ranchos were probably better for 4wd.

Anyway, mark one in column for Bilstein!

Oh yeah, and AIR TOOLS ROCK!!!!

I would (and did) choose Bilsteins over Ranchos for my 4x4.

Makes the rig feel a whole lot different, doesn't it?

I wnet to the billsteins from the factory shocks as well and I dindt think it was a huge difference, it deffinatly is a lil tighter. My old shocks were in good shape still at 75K or so miles when i replaced em. That buy 3 get 1 free deal got me from shockwarehouse.
