Everyone here will push Bilstein shocks. They're probably best for weight and wheelbase. I put Rancho on mine and leveled the truck by going 1.75" taller up front. Don't hate the ride.
Pros: leveled the truck
Cons: don't hate the ride
As I do some offroading or mostly off pavement vs wheeling I’ve also liked my Rancho 5000s.
Pros: good for offroading
Vehicle:
Ford
Had a ‘86 Blazer with snowplow and heavy duty suspension came with twin shocks up front when I replaced them I went with Rancho RS 5000 ?
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Blazer
I put those same Ranchos in my 2002 a couple of years ago. Night and day difference. I don't think my old shocks were doing anything at all.
Pros: night and day difference
Any regular shocks should be fine, when I deleted autoride on my suburban I used rancho shocks from rock auto.
Pros: regular shocks are fine
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Suburban
I went with Rancho RS7MT, I love the ride with my Clayton 3.5 lift.
Pros: love the ride
Rancho RS5000x's not the normal 5000. They are fantastic. My buddy and I both run them on our TJs. I mostly street drive my 98 with a 2" lift and he has a snow wheeler on 35's and a 4". We are both extremely happy with them.
Pros: fantastic, extremely happy
Vehicle:
Jeep
Part number: RS55128
I have to Rancho 9000s in my identical looking TJ and it rides great. Anyone who drives it can’t believe it’s a lifted TJ
Pros: rides great
Vehicle:
Jeep
For the the rear right now I put on rancho rs5000x as they were less tha half price of the eibach. The rancho was ALOT more plush with the aal than Bilstein.
Pros: ALOT more plush
Cons: less than eibach
