Took the stock "Rancho" off and got the new baby blues on.

Ride is smoother and more compliant. Cannot wait to try it out with the 5er.

When we took off the stock OEM stocks, they took almost no effort to depress them and the fronts wouldn't come out on their own.


Kind of hard to get used to not seeing red in the wheel well now.

 

Sounds cool!

You got some pictures? I'm curious to see how they look in comparision to your red ones in your sig.

 

I'll grab some photos on Monday

 

well ok, here is one, not in the daylight but this is what they look like

 

How many miles were on the rancho shocks? Those look good btw.

 

Thanks, I have 40K on my 06.

I also swear that the rear end of the truck went up a 1/4 of an inch after I installed the new shocks.

I know this b.c I have Timbrens installed and now they are well above the bump stops.

 

i took my so called ranchos off at 9000 miles, the truck rides a lot better with aftermarket shocks.

 

Sounds great! I may rethink my Rancho upgrade. As Powerstroke73 told me earlier the Bilsteins seem the way to go. I've been studying other forums and I have not heard of one complaint with the 'blues'...

 

I have a 2006 F-250 4x2, I just hit 39k, I am looking for some replacements, what do you guys recommend?

 

i have fox shocks and love them, bilsteins are also very good. fox are not as popular as bilsteins.

 

What kind of Bilsteins are they? My Powerstroker is needing new shocks... Pretty sure they are original shocks, and I'm at 120K miles.

 

Thanks! Im a newb to shocks, what will they run me?

Hey Dirk Upson - are the Fox shocks you have from the same company that make the EXCELLENT ATV shocks?

best price I found on them

 

they make shocks for trophy trucks to mountain bikes. they make a very nice product, but are a little more than bilstein.
