I don't get it, the pictures were there. I've never had such a difficult time posting pics on other sites like i've had on this one. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, or a firewall issue, but it's driving me nuts trying to figure out why thay are not there now. Every time I try to upload a pic to my album it says that it failed.

 

try changing the file type jpeg...mpeg. whatever, I'm not cpu savy

 

Good write up.

I have the Ranch 9000XLs all around and really like them, but good to hear about other new products too.

 

I was finally able to upload a few pictures to an album. I didn't do anything different than I was doing the last time I tried to upload some pictures. Oh well, their there now.

 

Looks good... they do hold up pretty well. Nice lookin truck. has the ride improved or changed at all?
Thanks for your persistence, a lot of people give up on here.

 

I think that the ride has improved considerably. I didn't realize how much the rear was rolling over in the turns on the old shocks. Now when I go over railroad tracks it's smooth, not bouncing all over the place. I knew it was time for new shocks , but I guess I didn't realize I was just riding on the leaf springs. My honest opinion is that these are well worth the money at under $100 for the pair, shipping included. Only time will tell how well they will last. I have had a few more 2000 lb. loads and the truck still raises back to where it was at before the load.

 

just put a set of these one last night after work, an so far for the 4 miles ive driven to get gas and back home, i think it improved the ride quite a bit then the 70k mile stock shocks. they were shot tho. now im anxious to get a trailer on and maybe load my car on there to see how they do with that. for nwo tho i would also recommend them.

 

You got any close up pics, perhaps from just outside the rubber, see how they look close up?

 

I'll try to get a close up picture taken within the next few days.

 

i used a similar product on my 1999 and loved them. tell me if i'm describing what you feel...a stiffer ride with less body roll around corners, more planted truck and less sag when loading....granted i had a loaded tool box in the bed of my last truck....i have recently switched to a 2012 super-crew cab from a 1999 scab but i'm hoping to prevent the sag in the rear end and stiffen the ride as i did in the older truck.

i would like to add a warning to anyone considering these that you should not overload your truck even with these shocks because they still use the stock shock mounts which can be torn off quite rapidly as per anecdotal evidence.....
