i love the rancho shocks. the adjustible ones. you can turn up and down the rebound. quick to adjust to your comfort level. especially if you ever take it off road on bumpy trails and whatnot.

I've heard very good things about the bilsteins, I have never "used" them though, however I had a full rancho setup on my powerstroke and loved it to death. In short, if I need to get some shocks for my truck I'll be going with what I know, the ranchos

I run Bilsteins on my PSD and they're awesome. Best shock I've bought. I ran, key word "ran", Ranchos on my Jeep. They were overpriced garbage.
I'm running Gabriels on my IDI. They're meh.

What Gabriels tho, they got several models to chose from - I've been thinking of the getting the LTV model for the front cause they are supposed to be their commercial-heavy-duty line, is that what you have?

yepyep. the pro's are bad a$$ too if you like the remote reservoir shocks. im planning on trying out some fox shocks next though, my aunts gf works there and gets killer deals on all fox stuff. the one she works at actually makes the fox shocks for the new fords.
