It's time for new shocks for my F-250 superduty. I want a good heavy duty shock. I use the truck for pulling equipment and general street driving. any advice would be helpful. Thanks Glen.

I think something that is either self adjusting like a Rancho RSX or Edelbrock? IAS?, or manually adjustable like a RS9000 would be nice, especially for the rear with your changing loading conditions.

I've got RS 9000's on mine. Also heard good things about the Bilstein 5100/7100 series.

For a street rig with varying loads I would go with the RC9000s with seperate front/rear adjustments. This setup allows you to always have it just just right, instead of good enough for most of the time.
