    Sears

    Try Sears... they will pay the shipping for the right ones, and carry rancho's. They price match, but not from the internet though.

    The one by me, South colorado springs, is great. I ordered the shocks and took the vx in. 15 minutes later the shop manager called me back in from walking around the store waiting and told me first of all, the rancho 9000's would not be close to stock, and second, my shocks were fine, and I didn't need a new set anyway. He was impressed that I had "off road racing shocks" and then he referred me to a company in Denver to have them tested if I wanted. I would call that honest. So I bought tires from him instead

    Also, The isuzu dealer in Cleveland, Ohio, Zarzour I think (while ago), could NOT align my car, they did it under warranty twice when I first had the truck. After my tires and everything were mounted at sears, I had them do the alignment... my steering wheel is straight for the first time in like 5 years... Go Sears.

    (1). Scratch the RS5000's
    (2.) Look into getting Bilstein B46-1738/1739-H1's
    a.) RS9000
    (3.) try Ind. 4 by, Darlington, Sears or Shox.

    Rancho RS9000X's are a little more money & fancier than I can afford, but I'll keep them in mind. (I found out today, the front shocks are a little shorter than stock looking at Rancho's website).

    Thanks everyone!
