Re: Rancho 9000s
Thanks Timgco. I have them set at 4 front and 2 rear and it is very cushy and cadillac like. I will probably stiffen it up a little though. What did the steering stabilizer do for your ride or handling exactly ?

less input/impact to the driver through the steering when hitting bumps....very noticable when offroad.
I feel this mod is worth worth it when you add larger tires, wider stance, wider wheels, or even just the stock setup. $85.00
When I added 37's to the stock wheel on my first H2, my factory one went out. The mechanic that found this (4 wheel parts), through the Rancho stabilzer on and it was night and day difference.
Since than, each truck got the Rancho 9000's and Rancho steering stabilizer. First mods I made to each truck. The install takes him all of 10 minutes to change that one out. I do the shocks myself. Takes about a half hour.

Re: Rancho 9000s
Actually, the rear height could get affected. The OEM shocks are high pressure charged at over 300psi each. The original while 9000s caused about 3/4" drop on the rear of my H2 as they were not pressurized at all. However Rancho has since switched to a cheaper way of producing the 9000s and now gas charges the new silver 9000s. Granted they are not 300psi each but there is some gas charging pressure in them now.

Re: Rancho 9000s
How would the shocks alter ride height?
It is my understanding that springs affect the height, not the shocks. Shocks don't sustain a static load.
