You might want to search for this topic as it has been beat to death several times. I have Bilstein and am very happy with them.

I had the Bilstiens on my last Dually and loved them. No complaints.


On my new one I put the Rancho 9000 to have the adjustability of the diffrent settings on the shock and they work good too. No complaints. Plus I found a buy 3 get 1 free deal that was too good to pass up.


Either 1 is a good shock so see where you get the best deal and "just do it"

A few that have cranked up their torsion bars to lift the front of the truck complained about the resulting 'pogo-stick' ride. That happens when the A-arms no longer rest on the yellow travel stops/bumpers and the suspension can move more freely. When that happened to me, I just reached under the truck and cranked the red knob on the Rancho shocks a couple clicks stiffer. Problem solved.


Can't do that with Bilstiens...





for what it's worth...

Rancho 9000's, for sure. There's no downside to being able to adjust your ride how you want, as well as when you want.
