Anyone have comments on the rancho shocks on a stock wrangler? I'd like to have a better ride on the street and highway with the ability to adjust them as needed if offroading. I would think a softer shock setting on the highway would be less steering shakes when hitting bumps.

 

I have them.. They are adjustable as advertised.. I think I'll invest in the controller down the road, cause turning the knobs is kind of a pain sometimes cause they get hard to turn. Also.. The rear knob is in a vulnerable spot, so I'd recommend mounting them upside down, or facing fwd so u don't break a knob as I did

So did u add them after having other shocks to be able to compare the ride?

 

These were the first to replace my stock shocks. I've had procomps, ranchos, and rough country on previous jeeps (xj and ZJ) so I already knew how they performed.. That's why I chose them over the others. Rough country was a softer ride but performed well all around. My procomps felt a little stiff on my xj. Driving over train tracks felt like I was on DUBS even aired down.

 

I run the rancho 9000xl for 2 years now. I do like them, you can adjust them to be comparable to the stock springs. However, I did a 4 in lift and larger tires at the same time, so the ride changed.

At this time we are working on a new controller, hopefully in under a year on that. Also I agree turn the shock around to protect the knob, and I hear as you turn it tighter it gets tougher to turn.

 

Love mine! I run em stiff in the back when towing and it really seems to help. I would definitely buy them again.

 

I have them! Great product! You cant go wrong! Go and get em!

 

Sweet- ill keep An eye out for that. Btw- To the OP, usually u can find a buy 4, get 100$ gift card deal on these shocks

 

Yeah they have a shoctober sale now. Eventually ill get the aev 3.5 lift but until then I was just wanting a little smoother ride for going on trips. This is the vehicle we use for vacations. I've read a lot of positives about them and I did have them on a z71... The jeep is not a z71 so that's the reason I'm asking if it really makes a difference on the roads.
