which years came stock with rancho shocks? My truck has 45,xxx on it when should i change my shocks?

 

no one knows?

 

My truck has rancho shocks and it has 47,xxx miles on it and they are fine. I don't think shocks have a mileage limit like other things do.

 

I put my rancho shocks on at 30K i now have 76 on it and i hate them.... I will not be replacing them with them again... And i need new shocks.. When i replace them i will let you know what i go with.

I changed out my shocks at 101k on the clock...it all depends on your daily driving and how much you actually use them. If you do a lot of highway surfing I'm sure you have a few miles left on them...

 

Anyone have an opinion on the smoothest riding shocks

 

I hear that the Monroe shocks are pretty soft on the road...any off-roading?

 

Shocks or struts are recommended at 50,000 miles. Depending what you use your truck for monroe sensa trac or monroe reflex is what i would recommend. There is also the Rancho shocks, they are going to be a lot firmer of a ride but they work great for haulers or off roaders

 

how are the bilsteins with height adjustments? Anyone running those?

 

I occassionally go off road when i go to the fox pens, or at work. I have the stock shocks on there now and it was bumpy as heck, So which ones should i go with? How hard is it to change the front shocks?

 

I have a 05' 5.4 RWD 4dr Lareit with 108 on it and I am now changing my shocks to the Monroe Sensa Trac shocks and struts. I had a 98' 4.6 RWD 4dr truck and I used the Monroe shocks and struts and were veery happy with them so I am going back.

 

I'm looking for on road only...my truck rarely if ever makes it off the road and when it does....its just trails

 

how hard is it to change the front?

 

the front is actually a strut assembly. i would not try to do this yourself if you are not familar with this...you have to compress the spring...i would recommend taking it to a shop that does this. The rear has shocks thats a pretty easy swap...

 

if you are looking for a smooth nice ride i would go with the monroe reflex...i think they are a great truck shock
