Hey guys,

I am going to be replacing my struts and coil springs (1 broken) in front and shocks in rear and am curious to what would you do.
I have two options bilsteins or sensatracs at napa cost.

The down fall to the bilsteins is about $ 150 per front strut, $ 80 per rear shock and about $90 for new coil springs= roughly $600 in parts, I will do the labor
Also I have read that the bilsteins ride is much stiffer?

The other option is to have napa hook me up and get new two new sensatrac quick struts assemblies for $115 a piece and rear sensatrac load adjuster shocks for $40 a peice. Totaling about $300 for the setup.
Anybody running sensatracs currently? How do you guys like them?

Here are the sensatracs I am talking about, the prices here are not what I would be paying

What are your guys experiences with each

Thanks!!

Have you looked into the Rancho's?

FordSilly

no I really haven't, I have heard not so good things about them..? Have you any experience with either?
Thanks!

Hello. I have the Rancho 9K series quick lifts and replaced my rear ones as well, with rancho shocks. They have worked flawlessly and love the ability to adjust the dampening on them. Plus they leveled my truck without a kit.

I also have the Rancho Quick lifts on my truck, and they are great, I've had no issues with them.

I really like the Rancho quick lifts, buddy of mine has em on his '06 FX4, gotta preach again how I love my Bilstein 5100s tho

I have the ranchos on mine. They ride great, and I love the adjustable feature, but after the install they settled about 1/2 inch over a month or so.

Awesome guys, I don't see to much on this forum about ranchos everyone seems to love the bilsteins 5100

The Ranchos haven't been around all that long compared to the bilsteins, so their user base has been in place for some time.

I just installed the load adjusting rear shocks on mine and so far I really like them.
