What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

I ran the Rancho 9000 XLs on my first Duramax with a 6 inch lift. The compression adjustability was a nice feature and was especially helpful when towing heavy. I also ran air bags.

I wouldn't say they were on par with the 2500HD Multimatics, but for $400-500, they are a good option that adds a lot of flexibility to adjust ride for different conditions.

Would you go rancho over multimatics on the 1500 going forward?

I would have to try them to compare, but wouldn't expect the same ride quality. So I'd say, Muktimatics or Fox 2.5 or Elka.

The Ranchos primarily have 9 levels of compression adjustability, but you have to adjust manually using a dial on the shock. I would primarily run them in the middle for daily driving and full compression towing. It worked on that rig, but the Multimatics hsve a broad range of dampening without the need to make adjustments and thats the beauty.

The Ranchos are nitrogen filled and have a huge shock tube, so they do well and don't fade much when your working them. Very good shocks for the money. Shock Surplus has a decent review.

100% AXE. They cost me $400 on Amazon and my buddy's dealership installed them. Very happy with the difference and they definitely smooth out the ride a lot.
