Shocks

BlackSilver · March 29, 2005

Time to put new shocks on my 2500HD. I do a fair amount of heavy towing.

Which brand?

I have ranchos on mine, but I have heard good things about those edlebrock IAS shocks.

I just put ranchos on mine. dont go with the 5000's. they are too soft, same as the Reflex's.

If your going to tow, I would go with the Rancho RS9000x's. you can pick up a set from Sams off forad for 223 for all 4. Rancho is running a special on them buy 3 get 1 free.

the best thing about the 9000's is they are adjustable. you can adjust for the ride towing or not, really work great. you can also get a incab adjustment panel, but thats another $150...not worth it IMHO.

I am running the Edlebrocks, but I have heard good things about the adjustable Rancho's and the Bilsteins. I think you can not really go wrong with any of these options. The edelbrocks have worked great on my HD for almost 50,000 miles now. The factory ones are garbage to begin with actually, so anything will be an improvement. Good luck with your decision...

Bilsteins.

Had some Rancho 9000's on my old truck and had problems with the adjusting knobs being stuck after about one year.

I've got the bilsteins and they're tons better than stock. I added them after leveling the front of the truck. I removed some rancho rs9000 adjustable shocks which are fairly new if you're interested.
