If you had to pick...(shocks)

[4x4Ranger]

which would it be. The Edlebrock IAS or Rancho 9000's? My ranger rides like crap and I want a better ride. Which ones would you pick? I have a reg. cab shortbed 4x4.

I have some of the Edelbrock's and honestly, I don't thinkin they were better than the stock shocks. I would definately go with the RS9000's with the little in-cab controller. I would love to get those things and return those Edelbrocks but I sent in for the rebate that they had goin on and I couldn't return them. But I would definately go with the RS9000 cause you can adjust them to what you would like.

RS9000 - with the in-cab control, they are infinitely adjustable! W/O the in-cab control, you have five settings to adjust at the shock. 1-soft to 5-hard

After experiencing two different Fords with RS9000, I would definitly go with the 9000s. Its much more flexible with its five settings. A definite change in my future to replace my 5000s.

I have run just about every shock on the market, except for the Edelbrocks and RS9000's. However, I have gotten to ride in a rig with the 9000's and they are so much better than any other shock out there. I currently run Bilsteins and they just plain suck. Anyway, as others have said, the 9000's have an infinite amount of adjustments to fit your needs.
Hope we have all helped a little. Take care and happy exploring!

Well it sounds like everyone thinks I should go with 9000's. Someone told me the edelbrocks would be softer than the 9000's but it looks like they are not much different than stock. Thanks guys!

Oh and anyone know a good place to get them?
