Hey fellas, do any of you have Rancho's on your truck? I want to put some new shocks on my '97 SR5, and need some help. What would you guys suggest as far as ride and overall quality? Thanks.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok then, what brand do you suggest?

 

haha, I like my rs9000s. But I got them used and if you spend the money for new ones, then you might as well get bilsteins or edelbrocks. Search around here, there's a lot on this subject.

I wouldn't get Ranchos. I had a set of the 9000's (got talked into buying them by 4Wheel Parts :mad: ) They were the biggest waste of money in my opinion. I may of just gotten a bad set, but I doubt that all 4 shocks were bad. But they offered VERY little "dampening" (couldn't think of a good word to describe it) So I ditched those and bought a set of Bilsteins. In my opinion you definitely can't go wrong with Bilsteins, no matter what kind of truck you have I'm actually trying to save up a bit of money so I can get a set for my Xterra. I would gladly pay double the money for a set of Bilsteins, simply because they are really good, and give great performance, and especially since they have a lifetime warranty

I love my bils...
this is the second application I have used them on and I have yet to be disappointed!

 

Whats a set of Bils. cost?

 

Rig Runner Central 4wd in Spokane will sell em for $55 a piece. Quite a bit cheaper than Performance Products.

 

I had RS5K's on my Tacoma and they were crap, waaay too stiff.
