So much for a fast reply huh? I have debating the same thing for a while now. Ranchos, Billstiens, Edelbrocks? I want to replace them once and be happy. My last set of shocks were a new set of z71 shocks. Better than my worn out shocks, but they still suck. I want something with better dampining and more control over big bumps. TTT for ya anyways.

did your shocks have a bracket like half a box at the bottom or did they just have the round peice the bolt goes through?
My stock ones have that bracket peice but the rancho's I got dont so im wondering how they bolt up?
