    Thanks
    I also changed out my OEMs for these Ranchos.
    The brochure I got with mine suggested 6/3 for highway, 4/4 for Off-Road.
    Mine starts to wallow/bounce too much if I have the fronts lower than 3.
    I usually keep them at 4/4 or 5/5 as I go on dirt/rocky roads daily.
    Other owners have said that EVEN AT 9, these are still softer than the OEMs. I agree.

    Youuu raaaang???

    I usually keep mine at 9. I like the firmer ride and the nose dips less during braking than lower settings. Someone else said that if these had a setting equivalent to the OEM shocks, the highest setting would be 12 - I agree!

    Since I have the MyRide system, I can change the settings on the fly. 9 is my favorite, but when our crappy roads become especially jagged / rough with potholes and overly-filled potholes, I'll switch to 4. Once the surface changes back to "soft, rolling hills" I notice the ride gets too bouncy and switch back to 9.

    Maybe I'm not thinking something through, but I started liking the 9 setting even more once I put more air in my tires.
