Rancho RS9000X Good or Shite???

[SKR]

Anyone heard about them, especially in respect to the adjustable settings and whether they're worthwile.

I have them, and I think they are.... although getting the knobs in the right position can take a while. My shocks are mounted upside down so I can get to the knobs easily.

Bill, Do you think ,with the shocks upside down that they work OK.
My Mate had some issues with that.

[wjw]

Rancho say they will, only problem is the rubber boot doesn't work well, so you need to be careful it doesn't get full of mud/water...

time will tell I spose

[SKR]

Yeah I've heard they're more accessible upside down.

What about the strenght adjustment??? Do you use it much or is it just faff??

I've got em in the front, the adjustability is good, you really notice the difference a couple of clicks make, I don't change the setting much really, but it's great to have that adjustment to get them set up right initially.

With my wagon I don't really believe all the BS about 'these shocks are specifically tuned for your vehicle' that all non adjustable shocks are sold on cos there aren't that many LJ71's out there.

I've only had em on for a few months so no comment on durability, but they have soaked up some big hits pretty well.

got them on my lux, had them set on the softest setting and for got about it and it would not past cert as it is far to soft and bounced all over the road, did a 2 day event last year and forgot that they were set on the hardest and it was the bomb and soaked up everything at the speed i was doing things, in my opinion i would rather have a shock that i could forget about al together, for the price they are great value, but as i want somthing i can hit faster and harder we will be changing to a koni or billstein
