I just saw the sell sheet this AM, most likely released this week.
It will take a week or so to get to the wholesalers.

Yeah no "official" 2017 rear from us yet in the RS9000XL, but it is about to drop for stock and our 5" system.

If this is true, it will save me from machining the old poly bushings from my 'past' generation RS9000 rear shocks. I have the new sleeves, just need to make the hole in the bushings larger. At least I can stay busy while I wait to see if June brings an announcement.

I would say this week. 
I have the sell sheet, they are made, once the e-mail goes out (probably this Wednesday) to all the retailers/WD's they can order it. It usually takes a week or so for them to get it going.

Have these new shocks been properly beta tested on consumer vehicles? I've owned 3 sets of the 9000's and really think Rancho should send me a set for beta testing...just so everyone can have piece of mind, that I've thoroughly tested them. I will then return them with a full report after putting 200K miles on them. I work from home and only put about 6k miles/year on my truck, so it might be a while. But, better safe than sorry, right? Just trying to help.

Yes they have been tested, and I like your optimism and time frame.
