New Rancho Front Struts:
New Rancho RS9000X rear Shocks:

Planning doing the install of all this week at the Auto Hobby Shop. They're hooking me up with mount and balance of the wheels and can also do the wheel alignment after the shocks and struts install. What do you guys think?

Quick question, though. For the struts, is there any trick for getting the lower spring mount onto the strut? I was just testing it out can't get it all the way down by hand. Do I need to grease it up or just use some more force with it?

Rotors and pads came from Auto Parts Warehouse. Shocks and Struts from Sam's Offroad. Wheels and tires from Discount Tire. Everything arrived with no damages and all the correct parts. Can't wait to get everything put on!

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I like the wheels a lot and can't wait to see them installed. I'm not a huge fan of chrome and those caught my eye. Hopefully I'll have everything installed this Thursday. Gonna do it myself and save a few hundred in labor.
