Reflex To Rancho Replacement!!

Just finished replacing my Reflex shocks which had 150,000 miles on them with Rancho 9000XL's. The Reflex shocks were not leaking and still had pressure in them. The ride was very harsh with the Reflex especially after I did the spring swap(Pro Comp 4" lift). The Rancho's ride is much less harsh with the adjustment set at 3. There is a little body roll but only on extremely rough roads. You can take the body roll out with a 7-8 setting but the ride becomes more harsh. I know this has been talked about many times but thought I would give my findings.
