Shock absorbers Rancho 9000's?

[VX KAT]

MANY of us have the 9000 adjustable shocks . I've read here several times that people think the Ranchos set to the firmest setting (9) are still NOT as firm as the OEMs.

I replaced my OEMs about 4 years ago. I am very happy with the adjustable.

I live on a very bumpy dirt road, so I usually keep mine on the softer side, around 4 front, 3 rear. Very nice to be able to change for off road too.


For info, several people that bought the "My Ride" wireless in-cab adjustable remote have had it fail in a very short period of time. Many times it was included free in a package deal, but sure not worth paying for it since it breaks in a short period.


Many places have these go on sale for "buy 3 get 1 free", sometimes includes free shipping too.

This thread talks about several sale prices different people got, so it gives you a price reference:

The first 3 companies listed below are top notch, very reputable sellers (but often a little higher priced).
I don't know if any of these companies ship internationally. If you need help on that, you can get them shipped to me and I can get them shipped to you.

Thank you very much for all the info most helpful.
I suppose its a bit of compromising between the good cornering you get with the OEM and getting away from the crashing about on bad roads.
