advice needed for shock replacement

[timgco]

stay away from the cheaper Rancho's. Your stock shocks ride better than those.

However, the Rancho 9000xl's are superior. I have used them on every H2. you can dial in your ride for softer and harder ride, twist up the rears if you're loading the truck down or trailering.

Also, swap out your steering stabilizer to a Rancho. They make a nice difference as well.

So those items, and your truck will handle better than it was new. @ 100K I bet they are due anyhow.

When swapping out the steering stabilizer have your idler/ pitman checked as well.

Airride: check to see if you have a button below your tow/ haul. If you do, you will also have an air fitting and compressor switch in teh rear/ pssd cargo area. Also look under the rear of the truck for airbags or coil springs.

ok thanks, I don't think it's there so I guess I won't worry about it.

Any suggestions on where I should order this stuff from?

Edit: Nevermind, went ahead and ordered from Amazon, should have the stuff next week

thanks. I actually had the idler arm replaced a week ago when i had all my fluids changed, spark plugs/wiring replaced and some other things for a tune up. I think I will go ahead and find some Rancho9000XL shocks then and probably the steering stabilizer.
