This is a sales pitch and not an apples to apples comparison. As the host suggests, "Don't let forums or other people that you may not know drive your decision on equipment for your vehicle." You tube is one of them. I say absolutely DO allow forums and other people to sway your decision since those forums are largely opinions, not driven by sales. I tuned in to watch a comparison, but it turned into a bash session for Rancho. Nobody watching these videos is going to have their shocks sent off to be rebuilt while their vehicles sit on jack stands for two weeks. Most people watching these videos will just purchase new shocks and sell the old ones on marketplace. I suppose you got through to some suckers out there.

I am not sure where you are getting that this is a sales pitch, and from the sounds of things, you definitely are not familiar with our channel, but we base all of what we say on real-world testing, most of which you can see in many of the videos we have posted. Where the forums can misdirect you is most people on forums have only had experience with one or maybe two aftermarket suspension systems on their application, where we test everything we can get our hands on. We have spent many hours on forums debunking much of the claims, and providing actual information and data. That is not to say there is not good info from your local know-it-all all or forum lurker, but you will be hard-pressed to find anybody with more test miles on these kinds of setups. We are in a unique position where we can actually test EVERYTHING on our own vehicles, which is not something that can be said by the majority of people, including forums and certainly others dealers. We have even tested and reviewed a number of products we do not even sell or list on our site. The reality is we do not care if you buy from us or not; we are here to educate people on what might be best for their application. In fact, if we were trying to sell you something to make money off our viewers rather than educate, we would be pushing you into Rancho RS9000s. Although the price is lower, the margins are usually much higher and are almost always in stock. With that said, they account for the vast majority of our warranty and defective product claims as well as customers who are just plain unhappy with the ride and performance of their vehicles. If anything, the only pitching we are doing is to convince our customers to buy something other than a Rancho that will guarantee they will not call us back angry about their shocks failing or not performing as they should less than six months after the purchase. Which even if you consider that a sales pitch, that is still educating people to make a purchase they will be happier with. Furthermore, it does not do us any favors to push a false agenda to sell you something that is not right for you or give you the wrong information, as at the end of the day, that is just more work and money lost in returns for us. Even with all the data proving they were not worth our time, we still have tested Ranchos on several of our own vehicles, so we could speak from a place of experience. In all honesty, you may see it as a hard bashing on Rancho, but we were actually going easy on them in this video. If nobody wanted to rebuild their shocks for half the price of replacing them, we would not be booked until the end of the year for same-day services, where you can drive your truck into our shop in the morning and drive out with their shocks fully rebuilt. Nor would there be hundreds of companies whose only business is servicing shocks. Even if you are going to send your shocks to us, most of our customers would prefer to have their truck on blocks for a week rather than pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars more on a replacement.

But going through the comment section I can see why people say it floats and feels like “not having a shock” it’s definitely way softer and I definitely think my bump stops are gonna be eating a lot 😂, now build quality wise out the box it makes sense for the $70-90 price point. Now if you’re just saving up for some 2.0’s or the carli kit, Id best aim at the 4600’s from billsteins. Haven’t taken them off to the fire roads yet but I know it’s already twice as softer 😂 and I feel the body roll in the rear when taking a curve.

Fox 2.0s will definitely be the most comfortable option and are a great choice particularly if you are not towing or hauling anything serious. At $700 a set they can be a little pricey, and with your use will likely need to be serviced every ~30k miles, so if you would like something a little longer lasting a Eibach Pro Truck Sport package would be a great choice. The Bilsteins work great as well, but if you are not towing or hauling anything heavy, you can afford to go with something a little softer. With that said, it will always be a 3/4 truck, so as long as it has stock leaf springs and still has torsion bars in the front, it will almost always be pretty stiff.

The PPV models run a little stiffer and lower spring set up all around compared to the regular Tahoes so they would definitely be firm, especially without all the gear and accessories the cops load into them.

why rebuild shocks if the rebuild is almost as much as a new one? And if the "rebuilder" messes up that will be a waste then.
@ShockSurplus10 ай бұрын
We definitely have gotten a lot of shocks in for service that other "rebuilders" have made a mess of. It ends up almost being cheaper to replace the shock, but in most cases, if you stay on top of service so there are no serious repairs that need to be made, we only charge $100 for a rebuild on a basic Fox 2.0 IFP. Those go for $199.95 new, so it still is cheaper to service than replace; with that said, once we have to start replacing things like the shafts, rod ends, pistons, or bodies, it starts to make more sense to replace. Really the 2.0 IFP smooth body shocks are the only line of shocks at Fox where rebuilding or replacing is worth questioning since they are the cheapest thing Fox makes. Every other line is more expensive to buy outright and much more worthwhile rebuilding. It also is really nice when you have a somewhat unique application where shocks might be hard to come by in the future. If you can get a good set of Fox, King, Icon, or other serviceable shocks, it does not matter if manufacturers discontinue them as you can continue to have them rebuilt.

Although certainly the case with many aftermarket shocks, we do find that brands like Eibach and Bilstein make parts that will at the very least last as long as stock if not longer. With that said the reason the other options do not last as long has little to do with the boot design, in fact most higher end dampers do not even use a boot in the first place. Regardless of whether they use a plastic shield, rubber accordion boot, or no boot at all, a shocks longevity is all about the seals, oil, and internal damper design.

Hello guys, I have a 2017 sierra denali 6.2L with magneride, it rides like a horse horrible and Im tired of that, Im looking to buy new struts and shocks, Im looking for confort, a soft suspension, I dont tow or carry heavy loads, wich would be my best choice and whats going to happens if the new struts doesnt have a conection? A bounch of lights in my dash for sure right? I really appreciate your feedback, thanks

So we don't have anything that would work to replacement or bypass the magnetic ride. You would need to at least source a delete or bypass kit. Then you can run any suspension from there.
