I’d hit up the rancho rep on here and find out whats up. He’s a cool dude and hes all about helping people on here.

Do you know how I find him on here?

You guys that have installed the 9000XL’s, what did you do?

Look at post #31 . Mine look the same as yours , no issues with the install .

soooo my 5000x’s were on the porch when i got home. I just pulled the driver front off and on the bottom bushing there is NO SLEEVE..... kind of crazy......perhaps i was incorrect in that you need a sleeve in there. Looks like the eyelet goes on to a smooth stud instead of having a fastener that goes through the bushing.....guess that's how rhey are on these trucks.
