Hey guys, Im looking to put level/2" lift struts in my 2016 ram 1500 v6. I was going to do bilstein 5100 but I am redoing the whole front end and the front struts are shot they leak and squeek something awful. So I want to replace them. With the price of the front end parts It will be too much for me to fork over more for bilstein 5100s. I was looking at the rancho rs9000 2" leveling struts. Rock auto has them for 150 ornso a peice. I know the bilsteins are adjustable and these are not. My question is do they work similar as in keeping the suspension in working limits like stock, like the bilstein 5100s do? I can't find much info on that but just wondering. I would eventually buy bilstein 5100s but not right now due to budget. Hopefully this hasn't been discussed before if it has I apologize.

Those Ranchos are absolute trash. Theres a reason they are cheaper. Search this forum you'll see for yourself.

If you plan to get the 5100s eventually there's no point in wasting money on cheap parts now, just drains the budget for the good ones even more.

Do everything else and when you can afford the 5100s or some other quality part you buy once cry once.
