Looking at the trailer thread, and it seems like most are suggesting or running Ranchos on their trucks when hauling their travel trailers. I'm wondering which are the ones to order??? My TT will most likely be no more than 5030 lbs. I figured I would order and have them on before we purchase. Thanks!

I'm going to order Rancho RS9000XL for rear. They are adjustable at 6 for normal and 9 for towing. I'm only 73 so I don't mind crawling under to change, lol. Price $93 ea at amazon. This was a recommendation out of trailer life mag.

I also will be getting swaybar and MS2 LT tires.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably order them soon.

Just looked at Amazon and it says they don't fit my truck ? 2012 f-150 fx 4 screw. 5.0 ?

Look at some other sites. Amazon and Rancho says they won't fit my 2014. But many other sources say they do. I came across some other posts they have put on a 2014 rear not front.

Run Amazon again. Run part # Rancho RS999384, I did for 2012 FX4 4x4 and says it fits..Another site says fits thru 2015. 2014 and 2015 fronts don't fit maybe that's why rancho says no fit, they want them on all 4 corners.

They will be here on Friday. Looks like an easy install too

I have had the Monroe Sensatrac Load Adjusting shocks on my truck and my minivan for several years now. I find they are a great option, particularly at about a $100 or less for the pair. When I drop 300 to 400 +lbs of tongue weight on my ball the rear drops maybe an inch from stock at most (i.e I still have rake from front to back, no sqwatting. Yet during normal driving they act just like any other shock (i.e. no additional stiffness or banging around)

X's 2! Those are wonderful shocks for towing and daily driving as well.

Installed the shocks today, but does anyone else think the **** facing forward is a potential for rocks etc breaking the adjustment ****???
