Does anyone have experience or thoughts regarding these two brands, which better, disadvantages/ advantages.

Everyone I know locally who put them on eventually took them off. The best long-travel shock is the Bilstein 7100 like I have. I can attest they are strong. Last weekend I accidentally jumped the truck in a sand dune. Rear wheels approximately 2 feet off the ground and the front around 4 feet. No shock damage whatsoever. Rancho does have some longer travel shocks, but in the long run they will be replaced many times compared to the bilsteins. My .02. Larry
