Mike,
Hotsauce told me that the Bilsteins were almost as stiff as the original shocks but not as responsive. He had the H2's on front. He was also concerned about the life span of the Bilsteins.
He had Ranchos before and had the same problem as you.
I'm afraid that its just not possible to find a $60.00 shock that is as good as the $350.00 originals. Nor designed to match this vehicles unusual characteristics.
