RE: KYB or Rancho Shocks
KYB Monomax update...Loaded the Lance 1130 last Sunday and did a before KYB shock ride.Finished the shock installation Thursday evening and took the truck for a 6 mile ride this morning.
WOW!!! What a difference...the rocking and rolling feel with the factory shocks is barely noticeable with The KYB's.I drove back in our driveway a little faster than normal to purposedly lean the truck and it handled very well.The recovery from bumps/dips and leaning is instant.I'm satisfied so far with the new level of handling.
Total installation time was about 3.5 hours,the half inch CP impact made things easier being the top rear shock bolts are a little hard to access with the inner fender liner and Super Slide 5ver hitch brackets bolted to the frame.
Once again...Thanks for the replies and experiences from everyone.

RE: Battery hold down
Tim W... I just looked at the battery hold down strap on our Lance.The strap is black nylon one inch wide and aprox 24 inches long and has plastic clip/snap together buckles on each end.Both buckles are adjustable to take in or let out the strap length.These appear to be the same type straps found on computer bags and luggage.

RE: KYB or Rancho Shocks
Well...I've decided to go with the KYB MM.The shocks should be on my doorstep 3/17/12 according to the Fedex tracking site.I will do the install after we return from our South Carolina 5th wheel camping trip the first of April.
I'm then going to load the Lance up and take the truck for a ride,return home and install the new KYB's and then off for another ride for a real time before and after test.Can hardly wait to feel the difference.The only suspension mods I've done are 2x2 blocks to engage the overload springs sooner.
Thanks,

RE: KYB or Rancho Shocks
Thanks for all the replies...I'm leaning towards the KYB shocks,the other brands sound just as good though.I'm looking for a basic HD shock.The KYB outlet has them on sale and with the special offer code(GOOG6)you get more off plus free ground shipping,$211.00 total.Will probably order today after a little more research.
Again thanks to everyone for your input...Great forum.

KYB or Rancho Shocks
Hello Everyone,
Need some towing and hauling experiences/recomendations from those using these two different shocks (KYB or Rancho).I'm getting ready to order 4 new shocks for our 2006 Dodge cc drw 4x4 lwb which shares duties hauling a Lance 1130 and pulling a Montana 36 foot 5th wheel.All feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
