Rancho RS 5000. 50 bucks a pop and a great value for a mild offroading shock

I run rancho's as well, but my buddy runs bilstein's and they feel about the same to me. Same exact trucks, only his is one year older.

I've got the Procomps ES3000 on mine, for the price you can't beat em. As I said in a previous recent post, the rear end seems a tad bouncy, but that could be because of the flatbed.
