Rancho or Bilstein

[never_rested_24-7]

Ok guys the time has come for me to level my truck I'm torn between the Rancho Quick Lift Loaded or the newly released Bilstein 5100 adjustable. The rancho claims a 2" lift and the Bilstein claims 1.8" lift. The ranchos run around $550 and the Bilsteins run around $420. I'm looking to run a 285/55/20 or a 295/55/20 all terrain tire. What do you guys think?

I like the Bilsteins. I just removed the harsh OEM Z71 shocks from a friends 2014 Sierra, and replaced them with the 5100's. I noticed an immediate difference in ride quality.

A little off topic but between bilstien and say a king or fox shock which would you guys suggest?

What is the difference except price and height?

Just to clarify some things... bilstein is now making shocks for 2014+ ?

 

Also - I already have a 2in level up front... will those shocks raise the front anymore? I dont want that.

Yes they are available and remove your 2" level and run these shocks adjusted to the highest setting.

Having had a few sets of Bilsteins, including 5100 height adjustables in my 2008, and having one set of Rancho (OEM) shocks, I would go with the Bilsteins. No comparison. The Bilsteins have more sophisticated damping curves and much better ride quality.

 

I haven't had the Quick Lift Loaded adjustable damping shocks. Someone said they liked them.
