I recently put a set of four rancho 9000 shocks on my F-1 and would definately recommend them for anyone looking for replacements. They have 5 settings, 1 being the softest and 5 being extremely firm for heavy towing. I run my truck empty on the highways and such on 3, which is as good or better than it rode when i drove it off the lot! just my 2 cents

------------------
TRUCK: 1998 F-150 S/c, ORP, Lariat, 4.6L V8, auto, Dark toredor red/silver, 60/40 bench, Grey leather
MODS: diamond plated UWS tool box with rails, bedliner, bedmat, custom "true dual" exhaust, heavy duty tow package, tinted front glass, bug shield, husky floor liners for front and rear

 

I put Ranchos on my wife's 1990 Jeep YJ Wrangler a couple of years ago. What a difference! The suspension on that POS is so crude (1940's technology with live axle and leafs front and rear) it made the thing almost tolerable. I've been thinking of doing the same to my '97 Lariat 4X4.
Glad to hear you like them 'cause I wasn't sure they would make the correct difference/$ ratio.
