Shocks

[SWAMPER]

Hey guys what do you think of the Rancho RS9000 the adjustable ones they sound pretty nifty and the price tag isnt that bad either...all four for around 350....what are your  about them....and what shocks are better?

[KYOTA]

Got them on my 83, like em crank them up on the road on turn them down for the trail. Got mine when Rancho had the buy 3 get the 4th free so bonus

[SWAMPER]

  Well...do you like them? Do you have the remote in the cab or you manually adjust them yourself?

[Mike D]

[KYOTA]

YOTAon40s--> <--lilswamper









just kiddin' swampy, dont get mad

[SWAMPER]

40's you could have atleast done some input 

[4DEES]

sorry ,LOL! well, I had the RS5000 they didnt seem that rough to me, they work good though. now I got fox shocks in the front and bilsteins in the rear.

[Fireimp141]

I got RS5000's, i tink teh ride better, but thats cause i came from napa replacements i plan on keepin em till i get enough for some doeschtech or SAS and bilstiens

[SWAMPER]

Hey 40's how about those FOX shocks...are they good?

[4DEES]

they work really good, I think for some one that has an IFS it would be REALY smooth. since mine is solid axle its still kinda rough of course, but it did smooth the ride up a bit. plus, they look cool! I took one off because it was leaking, its only lik 60 bucks too fix though so thats kool.

[Mike D]

bilstiens are also really good

[4DEES]

yeah they are, I got some kinda old skool bilsteins in the rear of mine nd they work good also.

[SWAMPER]

Well now Im between the Fox and the RS9000's

[Skinny_Pedal]

NAPA STOCKERS! they are the best

[4DEES]

 , yeah fox's are kool, but if you dont wanna spend a little more money then get the rs's, but I would go with the fox's

[robinhood4x4]

They say that RS5000s are the same as the 9000s set in the middle.  I drive around all day with my 9000s set in the middle.  5000s cost half as much.

Bilsteins are generally regarded as the best and cost about the same as the 9000s.  

[burnyota]

I run the older style rs9000's on my scout an liked them. And I also ran the old school in cab adjuster, had lots of problems w/ air lines leaking. the newer, more adjustable 9000x's have more adjustability. You have seen my truck(toyo) and i would reccomend either bilsteins, ore ome

[FIREBALL]

Well I don't know who "they" are, but I used to run 5000's, first thing I bought for my yota 13 years ago, and I thought they were good until I put 9000's on, then I realized how crappy my truck was riding because of the 5's. I'm still running the 9's, but getting ready to switch to the bils. I've been pretty happy with the 9's though.

Hey if you want a smooth ride, go pressurized gas shocks like KYB/Fox/Bilstien

Marlin's got R9000 and they hold the road well and are pretty good, but if you take them at speed over bumps, they ride like garbage. And everyone here who has Rancho's are thinking, "what's wrong with Mike? I Love the ride of my Rancho shocks" you're saying that because you've never driven a truck with pressurized shocks before-

[Fireimp141]

The only reason that i thought that they rode better is because of me going from NAPA replacements to rs5000's, in my position wouldnt u think that they ride good? 

[Skinny_Pedal]

nope napa stockers are the ish untill u get a lift. then i would go with those pretty bilstiens

I agree, even though I've only had the stock shocks and the 9000s.  I hear the same thing over on yotatech and 4x4wire and I'm a moderator at YT.  The #1 recommended shock on yotatech is bilstein.  And no, it's not just the street queens that say that.
