My 2006 XLT has about 80,000 miles and am on the fence about changing the shocks. Not even sure I need them but think I do. My truck is stock except for a few minor things, switched the 17" tires to 18", Gotts mod and edge. I can't decide between the rancho RS5000 series for $345.00 or the rancho RS9000XL series at $ 515.00. Any thoughts? Is it worth the extra coin for my stock? Or is the RS5000 good enough?

Or the RS999909 at $360 to raise the front? And RS5000 for the back, for a total of $460.

 

I am surprised no one has chimed in yet. I recently in the past year changed my shocks. I went with Monroe sense tracs for a 4x4 on the front (leveled it that way) and Monroe Load adjusting shocks on the rear. I like the way they ride and feel, and I only spent maybe with shipping $300.
im sure others will give you more info on the Ranchos. good luck!

2WD or 4WD ? 80k miles you should be good on shocks still ..

 

2WD
My truck sounded rough going over bumps and would squeak a lot, just squirted silicone around the bushings behind each front tire and that took care of the squeaks
