N2mesnob Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ok I'm in the process of researching front shocks to purchase for my rig. My ride height is stock with no intentions to change it. I'm not racing or off roading but I want something better than OEM. Although it would be nice that if i did decide to do that I'd be in good hands. So I've found a few maybe you can let me know what yall think. More than just opinion I'm hoping yall can provide me with facts on why you think a certain one is better than the other and its pros & cons. If there is one I've missed Let me know. Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The Rancho 9000's are adjustable so you can be ready for what kind of driving you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creekkid Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 If you are not really going to change much on the truck but want better than stock just go with Rancho 5000's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I've driven wd21's with kyb's, monroe sensatracs, and good stock ones. The KYB's felt the best IMO Edited October 8, 2009 by adamzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Have tried the Rancho 5000 series and found them to bouncy , have been using Tough Dog Foam Cell shocks ( first set lasted about 7 yrs and still handled better than the Rancho's , imo ) , then tried the Rancho's and removed them to but another set of the Tough dogs . Just found them more stable but then again I do alot of beach driving , but am still happy with thier Bush handling . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbywan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I've got the 9000XL's and when I bought 4 from AC there was a special to get the free my ride wireless controller kit... Very awesome. They may be still running the special now. It's totally worth it. -Colby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
