I got a set of Rancho 9000XL adjustable shocks. At first I had a problem... when I collapsed the shaft on one of the shocks by hand, the shock would then extend out on its own only to half way and stop. Since working it a bit, it now extends fully.

HOWEVER, the other shock extends at a much faster rate when you let go and this one is slow. Should I return one of these shocks and if so which, the slower one?

 

I have the same issue... maybe Rancho will answer soon.

 

I called them, they said as long as the shaft extends within THREE MINUTES its fine.

 

Bwaaahaahaa, that sounds like the Chrysler 1 qt of oil consumption every 1000m is ok. I'd send em all back after a response like that.

 

I sent the slow one that was originally stopping halfway back, a new one is being shipped to me then the fronts go on..
