I'm running Bilsteins and they are a huge improvement over previous shocks I've used.

I'm sure you could put Ranchos on there. Get correct length, stroke, fittings ect... Probably have what you need I would think. But Bilsteins will probably give you the desired firmness you're after. Everyone seems to like em, who like the firmer feel. Quality shocks

I just bought a set of Bilsteins and Bilstein rear springs to replace the factory rear premium ride shocks. Jochen, did you have the premium ride setup as well?

If you are in the market for Bilsteins you can find them on eBay from a seller named "hardpartsfast" for $126.20 a pair. Cheapest that I have found. The fronts arrived yesterday so I order the rears from him at the same price.

What part number Bilstein do you guys use and how do they compare to the cheaper bell techs??also I'm on 2inch drop spindles can I still run the factory size shock or would I benefit from a different size even with only 2 inches??
