installed Rancho 9000xls and a 1 1/2 lift. What a difference!!!

I'm repeating this for effect... hahaha.

New shocks way too soft? Something wrong? Ok, just had my mechanic install the Rancho shocks named above and we turned each adjustment all the way clockwise but these just bounce up and down about 3 times at every brake like bad shocks would... any suggestions?

Try the setting FrontRange mentioned in the first post. Rears at 4 and Fronts at 5. That will get you back to the feel of the stock suspension. After that, it's all personal preference.
