Roncho's or Not???
I'm looking at replacing my shocks but I've heard alot of bad things about the supposedly "Rancho" shocks that come on the FX4. Hypothetically if I had a FX4 with the OEM "Rancho" shocks and I replaced them with non OEM Rancho shocks am I going to notice a difference? Or should I just go ahead and buy the Bilstein or Edelbrocks? Seems like the Ranchos are the best deal right now but I don't want to sacrafice price for quality. Any opinions???

Yea I know that is a good deal, but....After some research on these shocks I guess they are adjustable up to 9 levels or you can get the remote to do it from inside the cab. I don't know if I want to mess with all that. I just want a good shock that's going to give me a good ride. It just seems to complicated to have to get down under the truck and adjust the shocks everytime I do something different.

The Rancho RSX's are also buy 3 get 1 free from the same place. That's an exceptional deal for the RSX's as well.

I'm curious. For those of you that have changed out your shocks, especially on a 4x4 Screw, did you need to or just wanted to? Was the ride better, smoother, stiffer???? Wife says it's too stiff (BUT not in the mornings!!!! ) and would like a smoother ride. I tried telling her that it's a 4x4 and that's the way it is. So, being hen-pecked as I am, I am researching into it. Plus, she said she'd pay for it.

Rec'd my RS9000X's on Friday and installed them yesterday. That wasn't too bad a job. I had never changed shocks before and I thought it would be worse than it was. I was able to take a short ride yesterday and they felt better. The stock Motorcraft shocks had 43K on them, so it probably wouldn't take much to improve the ride.

Nice difference. I initally set them on 5 front/5 rear. That was very nice while driving around w/o a load or towing. I then hooked our camper up to the truck, put the shocks on 8 front/9 rear and the new shocks did a great job of reducing the bounce that was present when towing. When towing w/o the camper on, the shocks are very stiff on 8 front/9 rear. So, they will stay around 5 front/5 rear when not towing or off-roading. So far, I really like them.
