If Your Truck Does This REPLACE YOUR SHOCKS IMMEDIATELY!! 

Lol

Shoulda sprung for the vortex

Right? 😂

I think he says that too

I replaced my pro comp shocks that came with my lift with 5100’s night and day. A set of 4 was only $350.00

Maybe rancho has sold out to some one else. Up to mid nineties I ran nothing but dual rancho 9000on my 78 bronco. Ford 1-ton with 40’s.as well as another ten rides (including 2-CJ-5s, and two wranglers) over the decades. Loved them, jumped them, but with a lot of other suspension mods. Never ever had a problem.

Even the 4600s, which are closer to an OEM replacement for working trucks, is an improvement over just about any others I've ever used...

How long should factory shock last , estimate

Is it a 4.5 inch lift ? My truck got very bounce after installing my lift kit.

I had a brand new 1991 GMC 2WD that didn't ride all that well even when new. When shock replacement time came, I went with the Bilsteins. Best move I ever made on that truck. A hunting friend who drove a lifted Nissan that would beat the hell out of you could not believe the difference they made in that truck .

Good faithful truck

I was gonna say what he said

I bought 5100s gonna install them Thursday

A quality lift like bds or kognito is worlds better than rough country.

You would not have had problems if he would have gotten a quality lift kit.

Funny I’ve put many lifts on trucks and jeeps. Some ride worse, some ride better. Sure if you stick with the bottom of the barrel stuff like rough country and/ or just do a leveling spacer or crank torsion keys (what is shown in the video) it’s going to be worse. Personally I run CST 2.5” lift coilovers with aftermarket upper control arms, paired with 1” lift blocks and Fox 2.0 shocks in the rear.... and it rides and performs much better than stock. But again I also could’ve put a cheap 6-7” lift from rough country for less money than my coilovers alone cost, but then it wouldn’t ride good. Also not what I want, I went for a low lift but more suspension travel as I actually use my truck and enjoy light off roading and dirt roads when I go hunting. I’ve also ran and installed Fox, Bilstein, rancho, superlift, cognito, Zone/BDS, rough country, and stuff from more mfg’s. And basically any white body shock is going to be trash, and the rest comes down to suspension geometry and lift kit design

@@manlythings7586He wouldn't have had the problem if he would have bought the right shock in the first place, Bilstein has a video between the 4600 and 5100

Not my experience, rancho rs5000x ride much smoother, it's all 2nd grade mathematics to figure the length of shocks needed, weather a drag car or off road, bilsteins are terrible in my opinion, road racing they might be ok otherwise they ride rough, you'd rattle your teeth out in chicago with the bilsteins, rougher than any fire road out west, steering bearing which clunked with stock sachs zw7 and worse with bilsteins went away with the rancho, if you live in the land of smooth roads they may be ok for the other 95% the are garbage

They r junk lasted 2 month on a stock Silverado

I tried Ranchos on my Nissan Titan and did not like them. The ride was worse than the worn stock shocks. I eventually replaced them with Bilsteins and they performed much better. Note that the truck was 2WD with no lifts. I do not do any offroad and just a daily driver. My experience is Bilsteins were better. It all depends on what type of driving you do.

@@drphibesrises Nope, not all depends on the "Driving you do" it depends more on the right shock absorber for the right application, in your instance, you do have the right part for the right truck, so thats why you see a positive outcome and im glad for you,👍. In the other nagging reviews, most of them people blame the shock absorbers for a bad performance but most likely is that they were either given or they chose the wrong shock absorber for their veihcle..

@@heathalden2905 thanks for the scam Pam ... lol

Thx for your input... the previous owner put on KYB gas a just shocks on the truck at ..well im unsure what the mileage was when installed. I have been thinking lately of getting 3in spacers and rough country N3's on the truck but im just unsure. KYB is a great product though it's a pretty stiff ride. I think i would like a slightly softer smoother ride. Just unsure of what to swap them out for in the near future

Tinman you are already light years ahead, I have an 03 Avalanche with the same crappy torsion bar suspension shown on this 95. That should give you some idea of how the first gen Avs were no where near as good as the front coils your model uses. Only get the leveling kit that comes with taller coils, and you don’t need to change the upper control arm if you don’t want to up to 2-1/2 inches. (Never, ever take the cheap and truly ignorant method of spacers under either the front or rear coils. You will be so glad you spent a little more on a properly engineered kit the first time you take it on ruts and mud holes, towing, and adding any load to our already crappy lack of any real payload. 1200 lb payload? Christ almighty five adult men at 200 lbs a piece and you only have Four hundred lbs left for anything heavier you have added, like tires, real steel bumpers etc. The more you stack things the more weak hinge points you have to fail off road or during towing on curves or load it down with some real weight. The first gen avalanches have to have new upper control arms to control the camber when aligning it as well as longer sway bar links which are nearly impossible to find. That’s even with a mild to 2-1/2 leveling kit. I skipped the shock extensions and coil spaces in the rear and went with thicker, longer skyjacker rear coils. 4 Inches longer even thought my front level is only a 2” leveling torsion key set up. This is because the slide out drawers in my bed level out the stock truck dropping the back down two inches when not even fully loaded with camping gear or tools etc. The skyjacker coils came down 1-3/4 inches with same tool box set up, but supposedly increases payload by 70 percent. We’ll shall see when I add more over-landing racks and gear. I still consider this 1/2 ton a wannabe truck because I am used to 1-tons running big blocks and 40 inch swampers. I love stiff suspensions that don’t wallow up and down like an old Cadillac through intersections. I like not slowing down at all for speed bumps in the road and not feeling anything but the tires going up and down and not my frame. I may never like IFS but they will have to do until I can find a good condition 85 2500 suburban to use the frame and live axles from. ‘

@@donoberloh wow! I didn’t know the first gen were torsion key!!! I went under mine the other day and I must say I’m pleased. I totally agree with not cheaping out. It may be good on the pocket book but it ain’t worth it long term.

Worst thing I did was bilstein on my suburban 800 miles replaced with rancho rs5000x rides as good or better than factory zw7 while being leveled 2+

So I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 RWD w a 6 in lift kit. How can I find out what correct length I need??

@@stevegonzalez652 summit racing is where I got mine and they have the listing for different size lift kits. Stock, 4", 6" etc... if you have any questions, their customer has always been super helpful with me.

@@stevegonzalez652 also...I run the 5100 series shocks.

$22 Monroe’s ride better

How is your review of them a year later Leo?

@@sevendyseven4090 Great! I just hope that last as long as the original set. I like a firm ride and these shocks give a firm ride, but are not too harsh. They are great on the highway as well as off road.

Yes, I have 5100s on my '03 Suburban. I probably will buy some new shocks but I like to use what I have if I can get away with it. 👍

Nicholas, VERY GOOD ADVICE SIR.

Even used Bilstein struts are better than Monroe. I experienced this on my '08 lacrosse. Yes, they made blisteins for lacrosse - GXP - Impala SS

Yeah just use the shocks without the extension

Thanks Sergio! Comments like this help me to keep on keeping on!! 🤙

Do they make them for 1988-1998 chevy silverado though??

Cheng Saetern do you even lift bro!? 😂 just kidding, I couldn’t resist

I have the same kit aswell and regret buying it. Same shock problems too and those shock relocation brackets have been hitting the mounting bolt on the brake line to the backside of the brake caliper when I turn my wheels

Lol GM never made a quality product. No american cars can even claim that. There's a reason why Toyota had to fly across the pond to teach the us how to build cars. And they still failed

Nahhh, that's no fun. More seriously though, if you are booting it down a dirt road, come around a corner and find a lot of washboard or a big pothole, you need the suspension to control the tires so you can control the vehicle, otherwise you're in the ditch, wrapped around a tree, in a lake, off a cliff, or into oncoming traffic.

Speed is only to be reduced over dips when transporting a wedding cake.

Did u put on N3's, how are they holding up?

Just poke her twice then. Lol
