Rancho 9000 suggestions UPDATED

I just received my new Rancho rs9000 shocks! they look awesome and I am excited about getting on the truck this week. I was interested to find out what settings are best for a decent ride. I am thinking about 3-4 for the rear and 4-5 for the front. Any suggestions before I bolt these things up?


by the way, if you are interested in the ranchos for your truck, right now is a good time to think about buying. Rock auto has them on sale, there is a rebate, and as usual, you can find a discount code for rock auto. A full set of 4 to the door for about $235

I have mine on 3 or 4 front and rear. Still very stiff ride but it's an f350. Seem fine to me.

Well I got these installed and I tried a couple different settings to see what felt the best. Currently I am 4 front and rear. It rides so much better. I have never ran the biltsteins so I can't compare the two but I really like the Ranchos if for no other reason than I can adjust them while they are on the truck, but build quality felt good. Large cylinders with a large rod. I did have one adjustment **** that was broken when I opened the box but it was replaced with no issue.
