I had the IAS twin tube on my truck with 9000 miles on them before
Daktoberfest 2006. After that, the rears went out (must of blown a leak)
and while waiting to replace them, the fronts decided to go as well.
I only got them to replace the old Rancho RSX shocks I had because they were
on clearance. Little did I know that for my truck, they were discontinued
for more than 3 years by Edelbrock.
I ended up getting Rancho's again and never been happier.
