RS5000's Rebate
 

My new-to-me '03 7700 has original shocks and they are toast. I just bought new Rancho RS5000's for what appears to be a good deal.

RS5233 (2)
RS5251 (2)

$162.94, free shipping (no tax) and a Rancho-sponsored $50 rebate, so total cost is: $112.94.

Bought the shocks at Truckaddons.com.

I was just going to do Monroes, but I think the Ranchos were even cheaper.

damn that is a good deal. ive got a little over 200 into my monroe sensatracs (all four) and when i got those the rancho's were even higher. so i say good deal!

Cool, I got mine a couple months ago and love them. I got them during the October buy 3 get 1 free deal..took a month or so to get the rebate check.

thanks for putting this up; im definitely getting them :banana:

So I've had the RS5000 shocks installed for some time now, and put about 500 miles on them. However, they don't seem to be up to the job.

My truck is a 7700GWV, which has a heavier suspension (bigger torsion bars, and an extra leaf in the rear). On wash board gravel the truck is just terrible!

The shocks were cheap $112, so no biggy. But at some point I am going to change them out.

On wash board gravel...what are you expecting/looking for out of a $100 set of shocks? What exactly is it doing...wheel hop, rough ride, uncontrolled ride, etc?? If they do good on a surface that you spend 80% of your time and OK on a surface that you spend 20% of your time, you may be OK. You can't have your cake and eat it too for that price, but you sound like you know that.
