I had my lift put on and obviously I have my old shocks. In the past I know that Chevy put Ranchos on the 1500 Z71's but no where on these shocks does it say Rancho.

Is there a part number to look for to see if it is a Rancho or not. I want to sell them but I do not want to sell them as Rancho's if they are the standard POS shocks.

 

this is slighly off topic but i didnt know they made Z71 2500's i thought they were only 1500s

 

This year they made Z71 an option on the 2500's

 

I am not 100% sure but I think the LTZ are Z71, I ordered mine as a Z71 so I could be wrong. The other trim packages are 4x4 unless you get the Z71 package added.

 

Check with Rancho, or Bilstein I'd personally not put less on a heavy duty. Forget the others!

My new ones are CST which are the exact same thing as the Bilstein 5100's. They ride really good compared to stock, but then again I am far from stock on anything at this point.

 

There are only a few shock makers still in the U.S. I run rancho 9000's on my 1 ton srw. Not as soft as a Bilstein but better customer service by far!
Plus they are 100% better than stock in any situation.

Hope they work well for you!

No shock can help your truck. Short bed in a 1 ton That is one Rigid ride.

Ive had the 5100's, no complaints.

 

MY NEW 3500 IS A Z-71

 

MY 3500 LONG BOX CREW CAB RIDES MUCH NICER THAN MY 03' 2500 CCLB DID....AND MY 2500 HAD BILSTEINS ON IT...WHERE AS THE 3500 HAS THE FACTORY Z-71 PACKAGE
