If you are referring to newer truck as 16-17 they probably have rancho but they are a factory shock and built nowhere near the standards as the aftermarket rancho so keep that in mind, that being said I went to rancho 9000's from billstien a few years back and will never get anything else, billstien's ride like bricks, they are garbage imo

There might be other options out there but nothing that's going to beat the rancho price and still be competitive. Rancho also does a buy 3 get 4th free deal in March every year so keep that in mind.

Have a customer that had someone install a tuff country 3" 'lift' and he's complaining of a harsh ride. I think he got the kit that comes with shocks too.
I have yet to see the truck, I'm betting they have the keys cranked. I'm just wandering which shocks will help if they're needed.

I'm aware of that. Why I said 'Lift'. I have yet to see the truck to see if the keys can be let down to improve it or if we need an actual lift. And I'm trying to figure out a shock option if we can keep his kit.

you are going to get a whole lot of opinions on trucks that dont have this kit, wont mean much till you get the truck in hand and can actually go over it and get us more info ;) :D

I had Ranchos and really liked them but with him being cranked up 3" there is not much that is going to help.
