21STCMC Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Anyone swapped out these horrible Rancho shocks yet, I called Fox and they said it would be quite awhile. Anyone know of anything better? I hate the "boatiness" at highway speeds Thanks in advance! Edited June 6, 2019 by 21STCMC Quote
KA0S Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Anyone swapped out these horrible Rancho shocks yet, I called Fox and they said it would be quite awhile. Anyone know of anything better? I hate the "battiness" at highway speeds Thanks in advance!Keeping an eye on this. I want to swap them out as well. The back end is terrible in my AT4 when empty.

Moend Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 See mine is a Z71 and I posted about it being floaty but lots of people disagreed. I have a cheap solution for you. How about some air bags. My buddy put them on his truck an it made the ride much better even without a load on Quote
FDHog Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 What tires and how much pressure are you running? Mine felt like that coming home from the dealer with 18" Duratracs. I set my pressure to 41psi and after 1500 miles it all seems to have settled out. They're not the best shocks, but the soft walled Duratracs don't help. Will switch to KO2's before the shock swap. For now at 41 psi, it's running pretty good. Quote

KA0S Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Don't have that problem.Lucky. It isn't a problem when I have a load in the box, but it's definitely annoying without. I had the same issue with my 2017 All-Terrain until I switched out the shocks. Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Quote
KA0S Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Chevy Shake 2.0? Mine feels okay.Not for me. Smooth ride unless there are bumps in the highway. Then like I said, the back end kicks out. Super annoying. Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk 1 Quote
4weight Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) If it’s just back end go Bilstein 4600. If front too go 5100 all around can get the 4 off Amazon for 350. Quality upgrade without breaking the bank. Edited June 7, 2019 by 4weight Quote
MX86 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Only company I’ve seen so far with shocks is King for the AT4/TBSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Have you driven over a railroad crossing yet? The Ranchos cannot react fast enough on rebound and it feels like the truck is going to rattle apart unless you creep through the crossing. Aside from more expensive premium Coil-Overs or reservoir shocks, Bilstein, Eibach or Pro Comp SS are good traditional upgrades. Quote

It's honestly surprising how long it's taking for manufacturers to come out with new product for these trucks. You can already order the 2020. I can understand a full suspension lift, but what's taking so long for shocks? It's not like they have to reinvent the wheel here....Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Quote
