So I was just wondering if any one out there is running the rancho 9000 adjustable shocks. I used to run them on my TJ and I loved em I just had the manual adjusters and was fine just doing that. I loved them because when I was flying on dirt roads I could make them super soft and then crank em up for the red rock or slick rock wheeling. Just wanted to know if any one has had a good or bad experience with these. Also I was looking at the bilstein front steering dampner. Would appreciate any feedback thanks

 

Just got a set of these for my son's TJ---what settings did you run on/off road? Appreciate the input.

You will still love them on the JK platform as well, but I am biased.

And don't forget our No Limits Promotion going on from now until August 31.

I'm running these with my Rancho 4" Sport Lift and love the combination together. I run these at 1 for the DD use and the ride is sweeeeeet! I wheeled them hard a couple weekends ago and they did great. I forgot to adjust them up, so I wheeled them in 1. I will have to change them to upper middle settings (6 or 7) for my next wheeling adventure and see if I notice any improvements.

I'm not shy about opining on this lift and shock setup. I've chimed in on several threads recommending the lift and shocks for others. I have a good buddy seriously considering it for his stock Rubi. I do think you will like the shocks on your rig.

Please note that Rancho does not endorse me in any way for my kind words. I wouldn't mind if they asked though .

 

Do you adjust these with a remote device of some sort or do you go around to each shock and adjust them?

 

Thanks for all the info and input. I am deffinatly going to pick some up because I had nothing but a great experience with my TJ. And for those who were asking on my TJ what I ran the settings on I honestly put them at 1 for the street it was nice and soft and then when wheeling I would just turn them up to 9 or 10 especially in moab or rock crawling type conditions. And I only had the manual adjusters I would like to get the remote stuff but dont know how hard it would be to install or if it fails or not.

 

I was told by a 4x4 shop that Rancho shocks were the only ones holding up to the extreme cold in AK. Even the Bilsteins were loosing their seals from the cold.

 

wow thats interesting. I used to love the sound of my Rancho's when they would collapse and extend cause with my teraflex shocks I cant ever hear them and to be honest I dont like the ride. So I am way excited to get the Rancho 9000

 

Been running the Rancho's for about a year now with TF 2,5 Coils, good ride on road and with softer settings they do well in the dirt and sand as well!!..

Very happy with the set up

 

That's cool and interesting to hear.

And thanks to all for the kind words.
