kremmen Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Cheapo's = ? Mid Range = ? Droolers = ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Cheapo's = Monroe, Rancho 5000 MR = Rancho RS9000X Droolers = Ohlins & Penske! But what do you want them for? Some OEM style shocks are perfectly adequate for day to day driving and moderate off roading... My Pathy came with some old Sears Roadtamer shocks, and they work unbelievably well. Possibly the optimal balance for on and off road in a non-adjustable shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kremmen Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 (super stock) with monroes.... So the Ranchos over the Monroes then. Ranchos got more travel by comparison of your before and afters there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) I've got Rancho 5000's and they're great, much better than the sloppy old stock ones. One advantage to Rancho is that they 2 offer lengths for both stock and suspension lifted heights. I was cross shopping, and Pro Comp didn't have that, they just offered a recommended range of something like stock-1.5" lift. Oh, and $85 a pair as opposed to $180 a pair.

OR99.5Speed Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Dude, Rancho> Monroe. Actually, aren't they owned by the same company? Bilstein is quality stuff too. KYB isn't bad, notoriously stiff. Koni is another cool company that doesn't make truck stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koni is another cool company that doesn't make truck stuff. From what I've read, shocks are like batteries. A few major brands that also supply, many variations within the brands and models, etc. Stick with a big guy, you should be ok. Now if only they sold oil.

If you put more lift on you may want to even go with the Rancho 9000's like i believe 88 has... once i do body & susp lift i will be going with 9000's, but until then, the 5000's work great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
