Howdy, Noobie!
There has been much debate as to the best replacement shocks for the VX. I don't recall which are the adjustable Ranchos - the 9000 or 9500 - but they have gotten mostly good reviews. I myself chose the Bilsteins, and have been very happy with them, as has everyone else who has put them on. They come with a lifetime warranty, too.
(Can you tell I'm pushing one over the other yet? ;-)
