I have Bilsteins. They work great. Lifetime warranty as well.

Even if you dont constantly change the settings on the 9000's, they allow you to set an initial softness that standard shocks dont let you do.

ok I have to agree with the bilsteins, they are a great shock, I am not sure most need the adjustablilty but it would be nice in the rancho

I was just going to see the DIFF shocks you guys are runninf
I also like the Monroe sensa-tracs I have these on my 92
Regale

Now the ??? I have A 95 f150 Ext cab With 84.000 on it
I thought it be about the time to go with a new set..

So I decided to go with the Monroe RE-FLEX

Anyone using these I do not have them on yet Should be a few weeks..
That and a tune up and Ck the brakes all at the same time.


Thanks for any info..

Bilstein

I have Bilstein shocks on my 2003 Scab 4x4 with limited slip diff. I replaced the shocks, tires and stock exhaust with about 5,000 miles on the truck. The bilstein shocks are far superior to the stock set up. The ride is a tad bit firmer over small stuff and single layer asphalt irregularities. The shocks shine when the road gets really rough, or while four wheelin'. I really noticed the difference on a dirt road near my sisters house. The road is very curvy, each turn is nothing but washboard, the stock shocks would allow the rear end to let go on the washboard. The Bilsteins hold the rear end down like glue. No traction loss here. Just a story of my good fortune. You can't go wrong with Bilstein.

Well with all the choices i will have to do some research to find whats best for me as I know I probable need to get some new shocks for my truck since the new tires were put on about a month ago the handling is way different than it was with the old tires I had new ties with shocks that have 92000 miles on then don't make for a good combonation.
