Bilstein vs. Rancho - longevity

[corprimo]

With 75,000 miles on my OEM shocks I'm ready for an improvement. I like what I've read about the Rancho 9000's in terms of adjusting for heavy pulling (11,000 pound 5er), but I'm curious if they will last as long as a good set of Bilsteins. Your comments would be much appreciated!

As far as the Rancho's are concerned, they have a lifetime warranty. Add in the adjustability, and you can't go wrong.

I got 50K out of the first set of Rancho 9000. Other then shipping, they are free (Lifetime warrenty).



This 50K had lots of heavy hard towing miles.

Hi Corprimo,



Make sure you go with the RS9000's and not the 5000's. I made the mistake and am regretting it. The 5000's are a bit too rough and firm for my lower back... the adjustability is worth every extra penny...

Bilsteins will outlast everything on your truck but the Cummins engine.
