Edelbrock IAS? Best price I found so far was 69.95
Bilstiens? I could have gotten these for $59 each but waited to long and now they are $65 
Ranchos? RSX? 9000's? Best price on the 9000's was 275 delivered  and $208 delivered for the RSX.
I tow 8,000 adn run about 20,000 miles a year
Some are long hauls to Havasu and southern Mo.
Will also be doing the Helwig rear sway. Best price was $160.
Why do some people charge 25-40% mark up over others?? |

If you want them to be easily adjustable, get the Ranchos. I think it's a toss-up between those and the Bilstiens.

Sams is the best price so far. That is the price I stated above.
Just want to know which is better.
Would i really benefit for the Ranchos over the bilsteins?
Not much cost difference, almost a wash.
But would one actually crawl under hte truck to change them? |

You will need to get under the X in order to change the rears. I changed the fronts by turning the wheels full lock, then leaned over the tire inside the fenderwell. |

to adjust the settings of the r9000's, you mean ????
I do but it's rare that I have to...
I did not opt for the in cab controller on them because i heard of too many bleed downs from leaks...
but I do occasionally need to change the settings on the rears when towing but only then does it change from my cushy 1 settings all around

I hope so
Considering I could get the Monroe Sense tracs for half the price of these. 
question, anyone run airbags along with the 9000's?
I have had the Airbags on the last 3 trucks for the boat I tow, it really does not squat that much with this truck comapred to the 1500 Ram I replaced. |
