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!

Keeping an eye on this. I want to swap them out as well. The back end is terrible in my AT4 when empty.

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

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.

I have KO2s. The problem isn't the softness. It's that the back end kicks out over bumps at moderate speeds.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Definitely agree. The Ranchos are terrible.

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....

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
