I run the adjustable ranchos and i like them. They allow me the flexibiliy i need for a truck that runs on the road for 95% of the time. Most people have shyed away from the in cab thing because of it's propensity for leaking.
 






hmm ok... so u have the 9000 series then? or the 5000 series? the ones i have just bite balls and i need some new ones should have ordered good ones when i ordered the kit so 1 for rancho any other takers?
 






They are the 9000's.
 






If you are very hard on shocks shouldn't you consider the new ones with the remote oil reservior?
 






yes if i was hard on them i would get the remote shocks.. but i am not just want a set of adjustable's i am looking at either the rs9000's or the mx6 from pro comp.....hey also zensius what do you have them set at when u are drivin on/ off road?
