Some here expressed a preference for the Rod Hall or Rancho shocks over the stock ones. My dealer is installing the winch and XM on Tuesday. He told me he might have trouble getting the Rod Hall shocks in. Does anyone here know which Rancho shocks I should get if I go that way instead? I'll just use the cash I was going to spend on the ineffectual exhaust "upgrade" on those instead.

Running 9000x at all 4 corners.

MarineHawk 02-04-2006 05:47 PM

Judging by the videos of you punishing most of the large rocks west of the Mississippi, they must being doing well for you?

KenP 02-04-2006 07:57 PM

I liked the Ranchos also.

MarineHawk 02-04-2006 08:20 PM

Thanks.
I'm getting closer, but which 9000x:

I can't tell if the second one is just a component that goes on the first one. (Yes, I am a Rancho shock dummy, but I'm trying).

Also look at their steering stabilizer kit.

KenP 02-05-2006 12:05 AM

You want the first one you listed unless you want a remote reservoir shock. Those parts are complete as shown in the pics.

CO Hummer 02-05-2006 08:32 AM

Legal Definitions > act of god definition



act of God definition – an severe event caused by forces of nature, without the possibility of prevention by humans – such as earthquake, tornado, hurricane, etc.

There is a legal term.

frank6150 02-05-2006 08:34 AM

you love the coal or you love the miners?

CO Hummer 02-05-2006 08:35 AM

CO Hummer 02-05-2006 08:37 AM

frank6150 02-05-2006 08:37 AM

frank6150 02-05-2006 08:44 AM

Think your girl needs some new shocks for those. Not sure but if I remember correctly extra bounce after hitting a bump is a sign that the shocks are going bad.

frank6150 02-05-2006 08:53 AM

Bouncy.

CO Hummer 02-05-2006 08:56 AM

She's my fav bouncy girl.

What does a "remote reservoir" mean/do?

How much does the steering stabilizer kit help?

Not bad. I dont think there's another product I would use instead. I know I don't want the Delco OEM ones.

Having a remote res system seems like overkill to me. I only see it on show vehicles that never leave the trade show floor let alone go off road.

I would also recommend against the remote system that Rancho has. It gets leaks.
