Bilsteins or Ranchos?

[MustangMatt96GT]

The truck is in need of some new shocks... Cant decide between Rancho RS5000s(whats on the truck now) or Bilsteins. I can't imagine a shock giving this truck that much better of a ride anyway, its a tank, Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4.

What are your guys thoughts?

I can do a set of bilsteins for right around 265 to my door through my local guy. Ranchos would be right around 220 to the door.

Bilsteins definitely...

Bilsteins hands down!

x3 for Bilsteins......5100's or step it up to the 5160's

I got racho 5000s from sears auto, lifetime warranty, when the bushings go bad they give you a new shock. On the 3rd set of them now.

Never ran bilsteins to compare

Shouldn't you be concerned with finishing your Mustang?

Bilsteins I will be pulling the yellow body ones off mine before long to switch to 5100s if you are interested.

Is there a noticeable ride difference going from stock shocks to Bilsteins?

Not so much on road, but offroad absolutely.......

Is there a difference in valving and ride quality between the yellow bodies (4600?) and the silver (5100?)?

All I can say is my wife noticed the difference (and she's no gearhead). Cheers!
