Opinion on OME Nitrocharger vs Rancho RS9000

I'm considering replacing my front struts with either the OME Nitrochargers or Rancho RS9000.

Does anyone have any opinion on which is better? The Rancho has the 9-position soft to firm adjustment.

Thanks for your help.

I just got my OME lift kit today, after reading/shopping for quite a while I think OME is better quality but that's just my opinion. Bilsteins are what I've been rockin' until now and I think those would be better than OME's or rancho's but like a lot of things, it's pretty subjective...

If you staying with the stock coils and no lift I would just go with some Tokico Trekmasters. They will save you money and ride great.

If you go with the OME's get the soft version.
I have the soft version up front and the normal in the back; front is fine, but the back is a little stiff.

I have the RS9000 all the way around and I wish for the money I would have just gotten the 3" lift from OME. I hardly ever change the valving but they do compress nice in the softest setting off road. I have roughly 15,000 miles on them and they seem to be no worse for ware than any other. The adjustment still turns freely and easliy.

My 2 cents get the OME 3" lift.
