    I need to replace my factory rear shocks after only 36k miles on my 2020 DCLB. I think I overloaded the truck a few (too many) times. No lift but going for larger 265/70r17 before winter.

    I'm trying to choose between Rancho RS9000XL and Bilstein B6 4600. Any thoughts or experiences from you folks ?

    Nice article. Thanks for the reply. It recommends the Bilstein 5100 over Rancho RS9000XL though the Ranchos have more oil reserve. My off roading is limited to a 4.5 beach road.
