I picked up 4 from rock auto for $380. There is also a $100 rebate from rancho, though I haven't received mine yet.

I've only had them on a few weeks, but it rides a lot nicer than with the stock shocks. Will tryout soon with the camper on - This was my main motivation for installing them.

I did have a problem with the 2 rear adjusters, but Rancho sent me replacements and all seems good.

Note that in reading forums like this that there have been reports of corrosion preventing the adjustments from working properly. Even with that the adjustability seemed worth it to me. I just put some grease in the adjuster to hopefully keep the moisture out.

 

I installed the RS 5000 on the back yesterday. My vibration issue was at highway speed 100-120kph.I usually cruise at 120kph So far so good,but I would have likely gone to a little better shock if my budget would have allowed it. I still have some vibes but not the gut shaking up the back of the seat that was there prior. Our roads up here can be rather rough at the best of times.

 

Anyone use Tuff Country SX8000? They're only 40 a piece and I like that they look the same as the factory Rancho's.

 

Well, I guess I spoke too soon. I had some of the bounce today. Not nearly as bad as before, but wanted to pass along that shocks may not be the complete cure.

I'm figuring it is a balance between the damping and weight - where the weight is dropping due to my empty tank. I guess it is time to fill-up.

 

kepp her full and spend less at the pump. hey and no bounce.... just killed two birds with one stone. lol

 

I know this is an old thread, but I am about to replace the rubber on my carrier bearing so I am reading up on it. I am only replacing it cause it is cracking and messed up, no vibration. Are you all sure that you dont have a bigger prob than shocks? I have 390k on the original shocks and I have to get up to 90-95mph then I feel a little vibration. Just thought I would throw it out that not all of these trucks have a vibration.

 

the stock shocks on my excursions were bad from when new - they are just not up to the task IMHO

I tried the 5000's and while they were good, I wanted the adjustables I had on my 03 Ex so swapped them out after about 2k.... VERY happy with the 9000's set @ 2

if anyone wants the warranteed 5000's with boots and all - let me know and we can work out the details...
