Less than 1,000 miles ago I put 4 new Skyjacker 7000 Hydro shocks on a 97 Dodge Cummins. The shocks are already bad. This truck is not used for anything but highways and nice dirt roads. Unfortunately this shocks were a gift and there is no receipt. What would be a good replacement for these shocks? Any help is appreciated.

 

heard alot good on billsteens i think the 5100, and rancho 9000XLs, both are made for out trucks

 

I like my rancho's, but I bought them for the adjustability, if I didn't want that I would get bilsteins

 

How much do bilsteins run?

 

i thougth they were around 100 ea

 

heres one place I fond just now, about 65 each

I just got 4 bilstein 5100's for $ 288.00 from performanceproducts4trucks.com.

 

Yep definately Bilsteins! I think the guys name is Don. All 4, free delivery to your door for under $300. You can't go wrong. I've been running the largest ones they have w/the 4" skyjacker lift and it rides great.

 

bilsteins 5100 here no prob with them at all

 

Ditto bilsteins, Made a sports car outa a 3/4 ton,
I'm Amazed on how good it corners...

 

I have OEM shocks on mine off an 06 truck and someone on here is giving some away for shipping costs. They fit great. Check the Free box in the classifieds.

 

Is that price for the yellow shock with blue boot or the nickle plated with black boot ? The price I gave for mine was the nickle plated.

 

Yeah I think that is for the yellow one's, which should be more than enough if its not lifted, if it is lifted I think you have to step up to the nickle ones, but I'm not positive. Never really looked bilsteins up for the dodge because for my application I like the rancho 9000's, but in desert racing all we run is bilsteins

 

Thanks guys. I guess I'll be looking for a set of bilsteins or ranchos.

 

Went from Rancho 9000s to Bilstein HDs.
Night and day difference.
Go with the Bilsteins.
