    i called and visit 6 different places past week and none of them have those shocks in stock, they all back order and they will be at the store in middle of june so i think im probly going to wait till they get there. The store that GAZ told me put me in a waiting list so they gonan call me as soon as they comes. Im just wondering why nobody has them are they that good?

    Thumbs up Ranchos 9000

    That's where I purchased mine and go them on a special. Just keep in mind that the Rancho 9000 are not gas charged they are hydraulic shocks. so they don't expand out I never installed a set of them before - just gas charged ones. When I opened the first one I thought it had leaked After opening all 4, I figured they all couldn't be bad
    I'm real happy with them.

    The RS9000Xl's are gas charged... Cannot be mounted in one up down position, and they do expand out.

    You can confirm this with Rancho.

    DJ - you won't be disappointed. Click here for the how-to instructions I posted after I replaced mine with Bilsteins. I wish I had taken pictures and even a video clip or two while I was at it, but I didn't want to get my greasy-dirty paw prints all over our nice new digicam!

    Good luck!!
