Default another shocks question

in the past I have had experiences with KYB as well as Rancho RS5000 (which I actually liked alot), just not on my E99 F250. My rears are completely shot, and snce I am doing the leveling kit might as well put in new shocks all the way around right? I know a lot of people will immediately tell me oh go Bilstein... Go Rancho.... Go Procomp... Go Rough Country...

What i want to know is specifics.. talk me into what you are recommending. Remember I do live in Colorado so some articulation is required, but on hardpacked gravel roads and such that is washboarded i dont want my back end skipping around like my old bronco i had with worn out monroe shocks.

So this is my truck. an Early1999 Ford f250 extended cab long bed with 4WD. help me out here. Thanks ahead of time. -Gregg

i've had great luck with the Reflex shocks, they dont have too bad of a price tag on them either, i will be going to Bilsteins next though, my buddy has them on his mega cab and they are AMAZING

Not too sure if you are aware but we are doing our No Limits Promo right now on our shocks, either the 5000's or the adjustable 9000's.

Rancho Suspension: RANCHO® NO LIMITS PROMOTION

Lifetime warranty on the shocks as well, save your receipt.
Made in the USA!
I have attached a pic of the RS9000's to show how adjustable they are as well.
Good luck in your choice.

ive got a 4inch rancho lift on my truck with rancho shocks but i think they are worn out because latly when i pull my horse trailer i feel like my back end is floating up and down, which shocks would be good for me,

zombiesoldier- i had gas shocks on a lifted dodge i had i got them from roughcountry i forgot what model or make they were though but i lived them they were great off road and i felt they rode better then the stock ones on the road.

I've got a leveling kit on my E99 and am running ProComp ES3000's. I can say they are good, even with being rusty as hell. I plan on replacing them with ES9000's (3000's are hard to get it seems) because they've been good, and the price is too 4 Pro Comp ES9000 Shocks 99-04 Ford F250 Super Duty 4x4 2" lift @Top Gun Customz

As a manufacturer we don't sell directly to our customers. On our website we have a "where to buy" tab and that will give you the option of online or a store.

Bigred7.3 if you are the original owner of the shocks and have the receipt they have a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Thanks all!
