Shock question

I'm thinking it's time to replace the stock shocks on my TV, a 2003 Silverado 4X4, CC D/A short box. I'm thinking Rancho or Blistens or ???. What have you guys had good luck with?

I think you will hear that both are FAB!! Made a huge difference in the way our TV rides with and without Montana taggin along!

With ours we do not have to adjust anything, put em on, drive away, enjoy. Others will tell you they LOVE the adjustments they can make in the ride. That comes down to personal preference.

Enjoy the new ride!

Mine came OEM with Rancho shocks and I'm very happy with them. I've also heard great things about the Bilsteins but have no first hand experience with them. I don't think you'd be making a mistake with either of these brands.

I just ordered a set of Rancho RS9000X Nine-Speed adjustable shocks.

www.samsoffroad.com has them on sale right now.

These are not adjustable LIFT shocks. They are an adjustable stiffness shock. I run my truck from totally empty to putting 3000+ lbs in the bed. I think it would be much more comfortable for my unloaded driving (this truck is my daily driver) to adjust them for these extreme differences in load. I also ordered the cab mounted remote so I don't have to crawl under the truck to turn the adjusting wheels....
