I had blown out a set of RS5000's years ago when my truck was lifted...I
stuck with the ES9000's (ProComp). Plus, the RS5000's aren't that stiff of
a ride either.

Rancho RS5000's - if you wanna throw a shock under there and not think
twice about em.

Stiffer ride - but if you plan on whomping around like that - its a good
choice as they can absorb the abuse.
