Due To Continuous Backorder!
I will not have Bilstein shocks on my truck.
I have tried for the last month to find a descent price on their shocks only to have shipping prices far exceed the price of the shocks!! Wait a minute let me think about it NO! I will not put up with any vendor who cannot and will not provide their own product on a timeley basis! I'm not about to fork over 400.00 for a product that may or may not ship tomorrow!!
I instead ordered Rancho Rs 9000's to be shipped tomorrow. They will probably better suit my needs as I tow daily and only occasionly off road.
All four shocks were in stock!!!! What a concept!!!! With their lifetime warranty I'll get new ones every year if needed, regardless .

I got all four shocks for 373.00 and they will be delivered tomorrow, Free, shipping!
I contacted Bilstein and got this Blah Blah story about they are changing the mfg to the U.S. Blah Blah! NOT MY PROBLEM!!!
I just got tired of checking all of the vendors only to find that none had all four shocks in stock. I did not check Genos as I gave up after 4 online vendors!
I definetly made the right choice as the vendor that I purchased from has a local outlet. And they will back up their products!!! (Or burn to the ground)

Rick,
Let me know how your Rancho 9000's work out. I just installed them on my truck and so far so good. I too, thought about the Bilstein's.......but they are not adjustable...to my knowledge.
Right now, I have mine set to 7 on the front and 3 on the rear. If I decide to pull heavy, I will prob up the rears to 7 or 8.

i just ordered mine on ebay-they will be at my house tomorrow. the guy said i got the last ones in stock. everybody else i contacted said they are on national backorder (the rear shocks) until march 13th. if you call aprund enough-you'll find somebody who has them in stock. i paid alittle more than the best price i found-but they did not have them in stock. (i paid 30.00 bucks more-but i'll have them for a weekend install)

Sounds to me like the Bilsteins must be good enough to sell just about everyone out! I had bilsteins on my last thee trucks loved em and no problems.
My buddy put rancho's on his truck and I have to say one thing. Good thing he kept his reciept and rancho honored their warranty! He ended up with bilsteins after his third blown seal in less than a year!
If I can't get em right now I think I'll wait - it's worth it!
