I have'em on my k5 and to tell the truth,They ride alittle sloppy.They'rok but I heard the Pro comp 9000's are better

I'm running them on my rig and I have run them in the past on other trucks. they tend to fade fast and ride spongy. but for 37.00 each I can't complain! (summit racing). they work as far as shocks go, but if you want stellar performance, get out of the budget mindset and buy billsteins.... my .02

I run them on my truck at first I thought they were a little stiff, but as shift said that didn't last to long. Going along with shift again and prob. everyone else here, spend the extra $100 and get the bilsteins. lol another .02 for ya....you'll be rich soon

I ran them too but now I have Skyjacker nitros and they give a much better ride than the Ranchos.

i just found out the truck i bought has the rancho 5000's.....to tell you the truth they are a little spongy and i will be definitely changing them out as soon as i can

That's a sweet deal. I think I got mine for about $300 for all four. I have a 3rd gen BTW.

Same experience for me. R5000s were too stiff new. Loosened up and were awesome for maybe 35,000 miles, then began to decline fast. Blew seals before 60k.

A buddy swears by the Skyjacker nitros. But you can't go wrong with 'steins. LIfetime warranties are nice too.

i used to have the 5000s too; they were crap. i am super-happy now that i've switched to edelbrock ias performers and wonder why i'd put up with the raunchos for so long...

sandcrawler

oh, and that's a really good deal... you're set!

they are stiff on the back of an 89 4runner.

I found the 5000s were on the stiff side on my '85 4Runner and have been running 9000s (and 9000Xs) for the last 6-7 years and like them better. Run them in the 1-2 range around town and 4-5 on the highway and off-road in the rocks up as high as they go and anywhere between 1 and 5 for other conditions via the in-cab adjuster.
