Question: I want to get rid of my 1998 Cadillac Deville’s electronic air shocks, is there a conversion kit that will change my suspension over to a regular shock?

Answer: We do have a conversion kit for the 1998 Cadillac Deville.  There are actually two different kits available. The front strut conversion kit will convert your electronic front struts to traditional, non adjustable units. The rear conversion kit is designed to replace the expensive electronic units with traditional air shocks, which will save you a lot of money and will keep your rear air leveling system functional.  You can see those here:

We also carry replacement electronic shocks and struts, which can be seen here:

Question: I want my 2004 Porsche Boxster to handle the best that it possibly can, everyone says coilovers are the way to go.  I thought they were just for lowering the car and I don’t care about that, bu if they’ll give me the best handling, I’ll buy them

Answer: Coilovers are the absolute best thing you can do for the handling of your Porsche short of having the suspension completely rebuilt with race car parts.   Since we can’t ship you a team of engineers and fabricators, the BIlstein PSS9 coilover is your best choice. The Bilstein PSS9 coilover for the Porsche Boxster will lower the ride height, but the ride height is adjustable, so you can leave it high enough to drive on public roads on your way to the track, then lower it down for racing.  You can see that part here:

Answer: The best suspension setup for a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro is the Bilstein PSS9 suspension kit, which is manually adjustable for ride height and dampening. You can see that here:

Question: I would like to buy a set of Rancho 5000 shocks as an upgrade for offroading and daily use. Do you have any for my 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door?

Answer: Rancho makes both an RS5000 and an RS9000X shock for the 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK. The RS5000 is designed to be a basic OEM replacement shock while the RS9000X is a heavy duty 9-way adjustable shock that can be dialed in for highway control, offroading, towing or comfort. You can see both of those parts here:

Answer:

King Cab F250.  Primary use is for pulling a fifth wheel trailer.  has stock shocks that need replacing.  looking for  recommendation on what type of shocks to buy. Would also like to  understand how the leveling kits work.  Looking in the future to haul a  fifth wheel over 10k

Answer:

For shocks, your best bet is going to be the Bilstein Heavy Duty, they are high pressure monotube shocks that will keep you in control while towing a heavy load:
Front -
1999 Ford F250 4×4 Front Shocks – Bilstein Heavy Duty
Rear -
1999 Ford F250 4×4 Rear Shocks – Bilstein Heavy Duty

Leveling kits are primarily for people who don’t do a lot of towing, since the trucks are set up with the back end higher than the front so that it rides level with a heavy load.  So leveling kits lift the front end up to match the rear and give trucks a more aggressive look, but then if you decide to tow, you’ll end up with the cab pointing up.

If you have trouble with your truck sagging, especially after you start towing the heavier trailer, we do carry airlift air springs that are capable of adding about 5,000 lbs of extra support to the truck, you can see those on this page, just scroll down a little bit:

Question:

Would Like to find air shocks for rear to level out when hauling wheeler. Thanks.

Answer:

None of the companies we work with makes an airshock for your truck, but we do have a couple products by airlift that are actually better than airshocks.  Air shocks put a lot of stress on the shock mounts, which aren’t designed to hold the truck up.

We have an airlift air cell and an air spring kit both designed to keep your truck from sagging under heavy loads.  The air cell is basically a heavy duty air bladder that doesn’t need to be adjusted and will add extra support when the truck starts to sag.

The Airlift Air Spring kit is adjustable just like an airshock, you can use any external compressor, or purchase an onboard compressor from us if you’d like to adjust on the fly.    The benefit of the air spring is that when you aren’t towing or hauling, it won’t affect your truck’s ride at all, since you can just deflate it.

I have a 2010 F150 Supercrew and I’m looking to level the front end with a couple of inches of lift, will the Bilstein 5100s for a regular F150 fit my truck?

Answer:

Yes, the F150 Supercrew uses the same shocks as a standard F150 for 2009 & 2010, so you will use the same Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks. You can see those here:
2009 – 2010 Ford F150 Supercrew 4×4 Front Leveling Shock
2009 – 2010 Ford F150 Supercrew 4×4 Rear Shock

Question:
I’m trying to figure out the differences between the Rancho RS5000 and 9000 as well as the Bilstein Heavy Duty and the 5100s.  I do a lot of everyday driving, but I also go off road and do work in my  truck.  Also it has 295/65/20s and a Truxxx leveling kit. On my old 1/2  ton GMC I ran the old Gabriel coil spring assist rear shocks and their  heaviest front shocks.  Right now in my current truck I’m getting a lot of axle hop and longer recovery time.  Any guidance will be appreciated.

Answer:

The Rancho RS5000 will be a basic OEM replacement shock, while the RS9000 is adjustable for the level of ride comfort / performance that you want.  The Bilstein Heavy Duty is a high pressure monotube shock that will give you a firmer, more controlled ride while towing, hauling, offroading, or just highway driving.  The 5100 series is a stiffer monotube shock designed to be able to level your truck by lifting the spring seat between 0.5″ and 2″.  With a leveling kit already installed, you’ll want to use the Bilstein 5100 shocks, the front is logner than a standard unit to compensate for the suspension lift.  You can see those parts here:

2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd aftermarket Shocks and Suspension

2009 & 2010 Ford F-150 4WD front leveling shock

And the matching 5100 Series shock for the rear, which is designed to work on stock height trucks or with up to 1″ of suspension lift.
