Aren't the springs going to be what prevents sagging in the rear and not the shocks?
KYB used to be my go to choice on other vehicles before I put Bilsteins on the Ranger. Quality/ride was always OEM or better.
Now I say Bilstein all the way! What you didn't want to hear :)
That being said I bought them on summit on special for 300 delivered. (With other stuff so it's approximate)
For $25 extra per corner I think it's great value.
Seriously they made such a difference but the only comparison was the dead original shocks so anything new is better. I did ride in Rangers with new Monroes and Gabrielsand the Bilsteins are VASTLY better. ( I know, again not kyb or rancho lol)
So out of those 2 I would say KYB from past experience and because Rancho's seem cheap to me
(Maybe from seeing them on crappy trucks all the time)
I'd love to go with the Bilsteins. I've heard nothing but good about them but, I didn't expect to have to also replace my bed so I'm trying keep the cost down a bit because of that. After these reviews, I think I'm leaning towards the KYB plus they are slightly cheaper.
