Shock absorbers Rancho or Dobinsons

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.

Any regular shocks should be fine, when I deleted autoride on my suburban I used rancho shocks from rock auto.

Personally I went Dobinson MRAs which have handled outback travel and tough tracks. Some prefer them revalved but mine is heavy enough to work well with them. Unlike their springs it seems to be a decent product.

I ripped them out the same week and went for Dobinsons MRR. Honestly? Night and day. The ride is smoother on-road, planted in corners, and off-road they just eat up washboards and corrugations. I’ve hammered them through tracks that would’ve rattled the Bilsteins to death, and they haven’t skipped a beat.

I went with Rancho RS7MT, I love the ride with my Clayton 3.5 lift.

I settled on Dobinson IMS, definitely a higher price point but worth every penny.

Currently running these. They aren't bad.

I had ranchos and my truck pretty much bounced down the road. I switched to bilstein's and it drives and tows better

Bought these Dobinson shocks and coils in October, photos are in May with service records indicating only 2,000 km of driving! Within 5 months these are looking like they wont last 2 years.

I have the 22 at4 with the stock rancho on there. Got the truck in march of last year and already had one of the rear shocks go out.
