Rancho Shocks

I am trying to decide whether to get the Rancho 9000's or RSX's on my 2002 and 1978 F250 4x's.

Are the RSX's the best of both worlds? How do you guys with the RSX's rate them?

The reason that I am even considering the RSX's over the 9000's is that I don't want to get under the truck to change the shocks, nor buy the in cab control, or have to mount the gauge control in sight.

Those that do have an in cab control, where have you been mounting the control that isn't in the way? pics?
Thanks!

I don't know about the RSX shocks but if you are going for the Rancho's I would pick the RS9000. I have them (without the in cab control) and they are better than RSX because you can (and will) be adjusting them to suit your style of driving as well as the terrain you drive over. Having this ability is awesome because you don't need to worry about buying a set of shocks and then being pissed because they ride to harsh or to soft.

I have mine mounted just over the bell housing on the tranny, hanging at the bottom of the plastic junk below the cup holder and "hook". I would guess it sits 5" or so above the carpet. It looks clean there and since you don't do that much adjusting, it's not too tough to deal with. Sorry..no pics at this time

Had Rancho 9000. HATED them. I even threw them out about 6 months later.

Put Elderbrock {sp?} IAS shocks on. WOW what a WORLD of difference - for the BETTER I might add.
