For stock, Sachs-Boge is an OEM, decent price and decent product...
Rancho shocks are for off-road style ride. Will absorb heavy impacts and be stiff on the pavement.
My mechanic recommended Sachs shocks.
I just changed front shocks and coil springs at 115,000 mls because one spring broke somehow. Check germanautoparts.com, I got Sachs from them.
Ok, I got both Monroe and Sachs and visually compared/inspected them. I would rate Monroe 3 or 3.5 out of 5 and Sachs 4 or 4.5 out of 5 based on what I see. Sachs look better overall, packed in boxes, shocks with holograms and seems more professional, like parts you would like to work with.
My five year old (55k+ miles) Eibach Pro setup has been great thus far... the shocks/stuts are actually made by Sachs. So, Sachs gets me vote.
Bought my truck new and my ranchos were already leaking. So my opinion on them are not high.
Now I have discovered something interesting. I have twice had to remove one of the Sachs shocks because the stop clip came out of the groove in the piston. I figured I must have overtightened the nut on top and pushed it off, so I only finger tightened it the second time. It slipped again. I looked at the clip groove on the Sachs piston and was shocked to see that instead of being square cut like the Bilstein, it was taper cut which obviously stupid. There is no way this clip is going to stay put unless I am able to modify the groove to give it a ledge for the clip to rest on.
