Rancho RS9000's vs R.C. shocks

[Cody90XJ]

Ok, I just upgraded to the RS9000's from Rancho. What I was looking for was a more compliant shock that didn't feel like they were quite so stiff. I took the advise of the shop that did my gears and went with the 9000's. I got them installed this morning and after about 150 miles of highway and asphalt roads that could use some reworking. Even some that just would be better off as a dirt road. The new shocks are so much better. I used them in the lower range of thier settings. 1 is a little to soft and I think 3 is going to be my empty XJ setting. When I get it loaded down with gear people and spares I think 5 maybe the setting to use. as of right now I am very happy with the shocks. Hopefully in the next week it will dry out some here and I can get some offroad evaluation time.

Heres a couple of pics.

The new RS 9000s are nice we have been selling the crap out of them at work. For the price I really them and they have a nice finish to them too.

X2, what's a good per shock price on these?

I paid 90 each for them. I was torn on weather or not to buy the Bilstein 5100's or these. These the reason I went with these is the adjustablility. I like the fact that I can load up the rig with kids and gear and change the settings and not have it be a dog in the rear end. Not only that, it's just something else to play with.
