New shocks... need suggestions.

[travish_1]

Any suggestions on good shocks? I do mostly on road driving but I take her off road about twice a year. The roads here in MI are horrible.

What's your budget?

 

[travish_1]

under 300

 

[Alec]

IMO the best budget shock is the Gabriel VST, usually under $80 a set.

I'm currently running Rancho 9000s, the adjustability is great!

Do those shocks have to be removed or partially to adjust?

 

[taxx]

nope takes like 15 seconds just turn the dial. I have had my hands on Alec's shocks too so I can say that for sure. he bought them froma great guy in Indiana...

 

[Alec]

No, as long as you originally mount them so the knob is accessible. You can also get an in-cab adjustment panel for them, but it's easy enough to reach under and turn the knob.

You can get 4 adjustable Rancho 9000's for around $330 shipped

 

[Alec]

I've seen them for as low as $55 each sometimes.

To save a little money you could also go with Rancho 9000s in front and 5000s or RSX in the rear.

The shop parts and performance in Van Wert, OH got me a good deal on Rancho 5000's. 35 Each. I'm going to install them today or tommorrow. They should be a big improvement over my "air" shocks (they're all empty, no fluid)

Thanks for all the help guys. I think I will go with Ranchos since that's what most people have been talking about
