Vis - I put the Ranchos on my VX before the engine died. Only had them maybe a week, but can tell you that you can get a softer ride out of them. The higher settings will feel more like the stock shocks. I had mine set on 3 for frequent highway commuting. They definitely dampened the road feel and smoothed out the bumps, but you will suffer in handling the curves to some degree (though not enough to bother me) and on a rough road the Ranchos on a soft setting will give you more chasis undulation that the stocks.
