New Shocks

[RMaynard]

2015 Ram 3500 4wd short box 68RFE trans. Just had new shocks put in my truck. Installed were Rancho 5000 series sub # 5269. Want your opinions of these shocks. Have noticed a noticed rough ride in the rear. Original shocks were OEM's. Just changed them after 45,000 miles, including a towing trip through Alaska and towing to Florida twice. Has anyone else experienced a rough ride using this shock ?? Trying to remember my time with Bilsteins installed in years past. Thanks ,roger

Yeah I had them for about 500 miles and went to fox 2.0 shocks as they were rough to me.

You might have been better off with the Rancho 7 way adjustable shocks, had a set on my last diesel truck a 2004 Ford F350 long bed.
at least they gave 7 choices on what setting to ride around on.

lower air pressures? i'm happy with my 4600 and my ranch 9000's on different trucks...

So the 2015 gas shocks OEM, had their failed? If I change my shocks, it will be adjustable Rancho 9000 on the rear and 5000 on the front. I had that on the 2001.5 and it was great to turn them down while running bobtail. SnoKing

Bilstein 5100’s. Had those on 2 trucks, 4600’s on another. Got 5100’s because of leveling kit and may go Thuren or Carli someday (...but may need new shocks by then!!)
