rs9000x shocks, what resistance # to run

[glom742]

I just picked up a set of 4 brand new rancho rs9000x shocks for $70 lol
I have never tuned shocks b4, sooo does any1 have these shocks and have a suggestion on what # i should run 1-9. I do both desert running and rock crawling so these ez adjustable shocks making me happy. im guessing a 3 for rock crawling and 9 for desert running and 6 for the street, i will prolly have to play with them for the next couple months, but i am not sure if i would trust my own judgement on what is best haha.

blonde moment. front shocks have eyes on both ends haha, looks like im going to have to get shock hoops, should i grind off some of the upper coil bracket, drill a hole through it for the shock or move the shock back on the radius arm all together, could also get new coil brackets i guess...

thinking, cut out a space and weld those in

What are the compressed and extended length of the new shocks and how much lift are you running up front?

stock lift atm but i plan on 2 inches when they are put on, 16 1/4" - 22 1/2" on the front 20 1/2" - 32 1/2" on the rear. The rear looks like they will bolt right in. measured from center of the eyes. stock fronts are 11 1/2 - 15 3/4.

also eventually would like to cut-turn 4" extend and lift

read up on your page, looks like u cut off the coil bracket and put in f250 mounts, awesome colors on your rig btw. That looks like a ez weld free solution, but i also plan on running dual shocks up front so i can ditch my sway bar, can i use a f250 mount in front of the spring as well?
