So I finally installed my lift wheels and tires going on today really excited !! Only one question what's a good streetable setting for the rancho shocks on a 2.5" lift ... Also what setting do ppl prefer offroad as well ??

 

I normally run 3 in the front and 4 in the rear. Just mess around with them until you find a combination you like. Adjusting takes about 2 minutes.

 

Is it the higher the number the stiffer the shock ?

 

Yes, that is correct

 

Thanks a lot guys

 

I run mine at one all around on the street for a plush ride. When I pull a trailer and have gear in the back I bump it all the way up. I usually run at 9 when rock crawling. I mess with it quite a bit just to experiment.

 

What is the trick to keeping the dials easy to turn. I tried adjusting and they are a PITA.
I just installed about 1 month ago so it's not like there old. Currently 2 on front and 4 on back.
When turning it seems like it will move 1 spot and one I couldn't turn. I sprayed some white lithium grease today on the dial and hopefully this will free them.
There hard to move now I'm worried about after next winter as we have lots of snow and salt here.
Any suggestions would be great.

Ok I have a dumb question so try and take it easy on me. JKU 2.5 pro comp, 35's, front, rear and side rails all body armor. I have decided on the 9000xl for the adjust ability. My question is once I swap out the shocks, will I need to seal out the springs as well to smooth out my ride? Right now it's pretty stiff and I'm hoping the adjustability will make a significant difference.

 

I bought my jeep with the lift already installed. Best I could tell is that it was a 3-4 inch pro comp lift. It was a very stiff ride. I started with the same thing you ate thinking and went with the 9000. Helped a little bit to be honest I ended up changing nearly every procomp component to piece together another lift by the time I got the ride I was looking for. At a minimum you will probably end up changing out the coils also to see a noticeable impact. Being that you are only 2.5 inches there are less issues that need to be corrected than what I had to deal with. I would also highly recommend the aev drop brackets. Those 3 things should get you in the ball park.
