Not a lot of options on shocks it seems
So what's everyone's thoughts on replacement shocks? I know lots of folks love Bilstein, but I'd prefer to stick with US made if possible. I'm also not a fan of Monroe. The last set of reflex shocks I got gave me two bad tires when the brand new shocks failed. Got new shocks for free. Had to pay for the tires.
What's the difference between the Rancho 7000 vs 9000 other than it being adjustable? Other brand recommendations?
Also, when do shocks go on sale. Seems like they always used to have the buy 3 get one free type of sale at certain times of the year.

Absolutely agree on FOX. FOX 2.0's are the best stock replacement shocks I've ever run. Auto Anything will give you a 10% off coupon for the asking. Just start a chat and ask the rep. That easy...

I've never run Fox shocks, but have seen their remote reservoir set ups for years and have heard good things about them. I guess this is worth looking in to.

I don't think they "go on sale" like things used to do.
They remain popular through the year.
You can find good deals online if you search. I found the best price on amazon when purchased as a set of 4. = $494 delivered.

The Rancho 9000's go on sale (4 for price of 3) anytime now. For a stock truck, they are more than adequate. (Depending on how you use the truck.) For me, the Rancho 9000's are barely adequate when my rig is loaded.

I got a case of the cheaps and bought a set of RS5000's. One because they were cheap with the rebates and % off at advanced auto. They back were ok but the fronts seem to be turds. So long story short It seems you get what you pay for.
