Running 3" lift. I think that maybe the Rancho 9000 shock is topping out with the 3" lift I have on my VX.
From what I can gather the Rancho 9000 is 4.125" stroke for the front shock and 6.125 stroke for the rear shock. The Old Man Emu is 5.51" stroke for the front shock and 7.48" stroke for the rear shock.
My complaint is related to the rear. So going to OME on the rear would gain an additional 1.36'' of stroke. Body travel is somewhat vertical but the shock is not, because it is inclined. So the gain in up travel would be less than 1.36" verically. Not sure if there would be much of a ride improvement at all.![]()
