Rancho's seemed to ride hard for me but I'm an old softy. Bilstein are said to be the best. Superlift seem to ride and work really well for me. And I hope to try a set of Duff's on Green next year some time when I get the 2.5 front suspension lift.

Skyjacker rides desent but all there stuff rusts really fast in KS. Just have to look at the stuff on Jr. to see that and Jr. stays parked out back most of the time. Thats what's on Green now also.

Most of the guys on the 7.3 diesel forum like Bilsteins a lot. I may look at them for the SD if they aren't too expensive. I don't know how they work in ORV applications.

Chad just get the same Shock setup that is on the 2010 Ford Raptor and you'll be fine.

I think you should get some Flinstone shocks, just nail some boards in place to replace your current shocks.

perhaps this latest magazine that Jack is starring in would be a good one for you to pick up, the front page headlines say "Shocking Find!" Why you get what you pay for with bypass shocks and air shocks. (4wheel drive and sport utility)

Superlift Shocks

Thats the ones I get. Superlift Superide for the front SUP85280. As I said the ride a lot nicer than the Ranchos and cost close to the same. For the back you would need to measure and go to Supersifts site.
