i've been searching about these two shocks for a while and was wondering what you guys recommend for my sas chev shorty thats going to see street time mixed with weekend wheeling? I've heard great things about bilstein but the adjustablility of the 9000's still has me leaning towards them. anyone that owns either of them chime in on your thoughts of the product!
thanks

I have the step down from the 9000's(they just arent adjustable) and they are cheaper than bilsteins and im impressed. Id go for Ranchos!

Rancho 9000 work great on my truck. They feel great off road, towing or just going around town. The ajustments make a big diff on how the truck feels

I have the 9000's on my 05 2500, and the bilstiens on my 89 K1500. IMO, you can't go wrong either way. When I got the 9000's there was a mail in rebate for a free remote setup for them. I got it and never put it on. Once I got the shocks where I wanted them, I left them alone.

Another vote for the bilsteins. can't say anything for the ranchos, but my bilsteins are amazing.

thanks for all the replies, I'm almost certain on a set of Bilstein 5125's or 5150's. just have to get my sas done so I can get some measurements!
