Time for shocks

[Snowman269]

No problem, how much is the set worth to you. I always sell off what's left over for a deal. What I may do is buy a different set for each truck to try them out side by side, then replace the lesser shocks. I was hoping someone could narrow down my choices though.

A lil thing to check when replacing shocks is to inspect the mounting bolts (mostly lower ones) as they tend to wear from the metal lined bushings & are known to make a clunk that can sometimes be hard to find.

Oh, Kroil & Neversieze is your best friend on jobs like this

i had a set of skyjacker nitro's on a f150 with a six inch lift and it drove better lifted than stock... i think when mine go i'm gonna give them a shot again... priced VERY resonable

I put a set of Monroe Reflex shocks on mine last summer. They really improved the feel when towing my 5er.

I have Rancho adjustables. I love em.... I set them real soft when just drivin around, and stiffen them way up when I tow so the trailer doesnt push it around....

Rancho 9000's

I put the Rancho 9000 shocks on seems like ~2-2.5 years ago and have never looked back. My OEM shocks really needed to be replaced at about 14k, but I waited until 70k... I now have 168k and do the same as the other fella. The front stays on around 3 out of 5, and the rears are on 1 out of five... until it's time to tow the 10k lbs TT, then I up them to 4 out of 5. I tried 5 out of 5 for Sh*^s and giggles and my truck looked like a brothers car where the shocks were replaced with steel rods!! No leaks and no degradation in performance.
