I just installed a set on my 01 dually. I was wondering what settings are best to run? I am currently running 7 in front and 5 in rear.

Yes I do have them cranked. I bought them through a local vendor. I did buy them 2" longer then factory spec. The originals extend to 15" and the ones I install are 17.25". The truck is in the shop for stereo install. will check the part #'s Monday and post them.

Thanks!! that would be great. Im currently trying to make the choice of whether to go rancho or Bilstien for new shocks. I want the ranchos because there so adjustable.

I have kinda figuered out the settings I like. 5 front 4 rear. I would go with the rancho couple reasons. 1 adjustability is excellent. I first had the rears at setting 8, it was like a locamotive, now I have it at 4. It floats like an old caddy. 2nd reason, LIFETIME warranty.

I never thought the adjustability would make such a diffrence in firmness. I will definatley get the in cab controller. What a diffrence in ride. If I knew that a 3500 dually would ride like this, I would have bought these shocks the first day.
