Front shock pics

I have had no luck in my searches, so, does anyone have pics of their Rancho 9000 shocks installed.....wondering on the accessibility of the adjusting *****, and if they are worth the $$. Thanks inadvance

Also, where is the best place to get them?

I actually just did the set of 4 last week. Very easy to get to the adjusters on all of them. Also they are running a $100 rebate on a set of 4. I like them. I have them set to 4 all the way around. I'll post a pic or two tomorrow.

It's from rancho directly. You fill out the form and just provide a copy of the receipt. I'll let you know the prices that I paid when I post the pics.

I dropped a set of 4 of these on my Ex recently. They are very nice. I've been running fronts at 6 and rears at 4 with good results. Got my $100 rebate in the mail from Rancho several weeks ago. Used it to buy diesel. Adjusting requires getting on the ground, but this isn't something I expect to do very often.



You can see the red adjuster **** here. Easy to reach, but not probably something you would do in church clothes. Be sure to keep your receipt, they have a lifetime warranty.

If you bought them this year after March 1, the rebate is good for our friends up North, even those in Quebec.

Mr.Nobody, thanks for the pic. Seems like the adjusting **** would be easier to get to if it were on the top, not bottom. Do the boots not fit, or do you just not like them?

***** need to be down to work properly.
And boots are up to you. We include them to protect the shock rod from nicks.

I put on all 4 last summer. Only time I crawl under there to adjust them is for long-distance towing. I've been pretty pleased with them. The boots on the front were just too much of a pain to get fitted on, so I opted out of them.

I was just not a fan of the red peeking through on my otherwise "earth toned" Ex. Nothing wrong with them, I just didn't like the color. They also came with stickers, which I didn't put on the shocks, and I didn't put the boot on the steering damper for the same reason.

I have Rancho 9000xl's on my Excursion that I just bought but they are all rusted out. Is this typical for Rancho shocks? They look really bad.

Thanks!

Where do you live? More importantly where has the excursion spent its life?
