Hey Nav,
I think you're the only one who went with 5000s, most people who replaced the stock shocks went with 9000s, but since I don't need adjustability, if I'm happy with what RS 5000 provides, I'm interested in them. What kind of improvement over stock are you seeing? Does it take the jaw-rattling out? If anybody compared them to RS 9000, do you know what setting does 5000 correspond to? I'm looking for a slightly softer ride, but still firm enough to remain nimble on turns.

...Do as I did, replace your own shocks and have the satisfaction of knowing the job was done right. You can get RANCHO 5000's from www.summitracing.com for around $38 each plus shipping, which isn't bad. The VX uses the same shocks as the Trooper of the same year. I chose Gabriel Ultra's, and I must say the improovement over stock is amazing.
