    That's great. I'm still waiting for my rebates to show up, so that I can buy my damn roof rack.

    Preference, neither. They're both basic, and they'll both get you where you want to be. They're built differently as well, so do the research.

    What's different about Bilstein? What makes them so good?

    I didn't say that they were so good, or better than Rancho. They are built differently. Bilstein can handle light to medium off road use where Rancho is more of light offroad.

    I'm a mall crawler. NO off roading for me, just a TW beach run to South Padre Island once a year.

    Rancho can handle that no prob, I know the red n white shocks they have are very stiff, not sure about their silver shocks. Bilstein fronts are more versitile than the rancho fronts as you can use a wide variety of springs with them, not sure on rancho if you're limited to their spring or not

    I have white shocks and they're great. My coach has a 2018 Ford F-250, and his came with white Rancho shocks all around. His truck was very smooth, so if my whites are nice, I'd imagine the silver ones are even better.

    I found some pictures from the day we bought, and installed my current shocks.

    @LostHusker, I was going through my phone gallery, and I found this gem. What size wheel, and tire do you have? They look sharp!
