i was thinking about having them rebuilt but for 3 reasons i have decided against it for one i live in Canada and shipping them there and back is going to be costly, also i am guessing i will be waiting a while for them... and thirdly one of the nuts was seized on the top of one of the front struts and it sheered the top of the strut off trying to get it off... in am guessing that unless they replace the shaft of the shock this will make rebuilding impossible

I drive 90% tarmac/highway, but do the rare "playing in the dirt" whenever a construction site allows.I just swapped out my crusty old Rancho RS500 shocks for Rancho RS900XLs and they are a dream so far. Fully adjustable for your applications. I keep mine FIRM.

thanks for all the advice i am currently leaning to wards the Bilstein for 2 reasons they are supposed to be a little bit stiffer than the rs9000xl, and are supposed to with stand colder temps i have herd the ranchos are proned to blow out in -30 and below.
any opinions?

Yeah that was "mbeach" that had his Ranchos blow out at -40 degrees.

You don't need new shocks...you need to move somewhere warm!!
