what shocks should i get

[ccapehartusarmyINF.(ret)]

i like a firm riding suspension and the kyb shocks i just put on ride like the factory shocks and GMs factory suspension to me seems to soft i want a firmer suspension so any recomendations, should i get the bilstiens maybe?
previous vehicles wich were all fords ive always put on ranchos like Rs5000s
wich gave me the type of ride im lookin for can i put a set of ranchos on a 2wd

I'm running Bilsteins and they are a huge improvement over previous shocks I've used.

I'm sure you could put Ranchos on there. Get correct length, stroke, fittings ect... Probably have what you need I would think. But Bilsteins will probably give you the desired firmness you're after. Everyone seems to like em, who like the firmer feel. Quality shocks

I just bought a set of Bilsteins and Bilstein rear springs to replace the factory rear premium ride shocks. Jochen, did you have the premium ride setup as well?

No premium ride setup here.

If you are in the market for Bilsteins you can find them on eBay from a seller named "hardpartsfast" for $126.20 a pair. Cheapest that I have found. The fronts arrived yesterday so I order the rears from him at the same price.

Looks like my set on the front only lasted 5 years. The pass side has started to leak.

5 years is pretty long for shocks. Great effort at a follow-up after 5 years!

What part number Bilstein do you guys use and how do they compare to the cheaper bell techs??also I'm on 2inch drop spindles can I still run the factory size shock or would I benefit from a different size even with only 2 inches??

Bilstein 4600’s , I don’t have a p/n. Regular length; the drop spindles have no effect on shock length.
