Default Rancho Rs9000XL shocks good?

I am about u order a RK 3.5 Flex kit and now I need to choose my shocks. I could go the normal route with Bilstein 5100, but I was referred to the ranchos. Anybody have any experience with these shocks, they seem like a great deal being a tunable shocks as well. I will mainly be using my jeep as a DD, but it will be used offroad.

I have these on my JKUR with the RK 2.5 max travel. I have the 3.5" shocks though, making the front flex like crazy. The ride is amazing. You can tune it to your liking. I say +1 for the 9000s.

I run them on my JKU on 37s, and on our TJ with 35s. HUGE difference in ride quality.

Way better than my 5100's I had. I like to change the setting's for different situations. Towing etc.

Default Just added them to my 2 door

feel way better than stock rubicons I feel so far . Cant go wrong with getting them !
I don't run a lift on mine but it made the stock ride much more comfortable .
