I finally got the RS9000s on my VX this weekend, after breaking my thumb when the wrench slipped off a bolt. But, all pain and purple fingers aside, the Ranchos are a huge improvement over the stock. The ride is as smooth as can be with lower settings to the shocks, and the higher the setting, the more stiff it feels. I noticed that the ride got quite bouncy with offroad settings for highway use, but that's only because I was toying around with settings and road effects. Very pleased though.

Surprisingly, getting the stocks off the front were not fun. Since it was a driveway job, I had to work like a shadetree mechanic. The front shocks were not too friendly without proper lifting and deconstruction. That in turn, is probably why my thumb is now in a splint, heh.
