Need some advice for some new shocks...

[HockeyStud852]

I am 2wd and want a really really nice street shock. So I ran a search to see what others said and these are what it sounded like I would like...

Rancho RS9000X 9 way adjustables
Bilsteins

Are is everyones thoughts about these two? I also thought that the Bilteins was for extreme off roading not exactly a street shock. Maybe I'm thinking of a different model? And would anyone suggest any others?

I have the RSX9000s and love them. I set the front end a little stiffer than the rear. It seems to keep the truck from diving too much in a corner, but keeps the rear from "bucking" too much on rough roads.

My 4x4 shop tells me that adjustable shocks leak. I have Bilsteins on my Ranger. I like them so much that I am planning to replace the shocks on my X with Bilsteins 5100s

These are the street shocks? How much offroading do you do?

Ok so I think I'm down to the Monroe Sensa-Trac and the Bilstein OE Performance. Since I have a Sport 2 door and the ride quality isnt that great which one should I go with to have the best feel on the road?

bilstein, they automatically valve so they will be softer on road and harder off road

Bilsteins come stock on the Level II Rangers (4x4). I am much more satisfied with their on and off road performance than any other shock I have used. The disadvantage to Bilsteinis price.
