Rancho 9000's installed !!!!!!!!
Got the 9000's installed on the Ex today and on the ride home was SO disappointed - rode like the proverbial brick !
Got home and in the misty rain HAD to lay out a throw rug so I could look at the install...
Everything looked fine... then started checking the settings on the 9 way adjustables...
Left front on 3 --- should have been little less than middle of the range....
right front and rears were all on NINE
So changed them all to one and went for a ride...
Now it seems SOFTER than stock :-)
Guess I'll have to find my happy medium....
what do any of you run the Ranchos on ???
and will definetly look into the dash adjustment kit !!!

I have mine set to 5 all the way around. I may try to adjust them down some. Towed with the rig this weekend, a 5000lb trailer and it towed great at 5. I will adjust down to 3 while not towing and see if I like it better.

it's that getting back up
and I've found the fronts can be reached over the tire now that I know where they are...
I LIKE 'EM
but can't understand why you would EVER run them on 9 ---
for SERIOUS TOWING !?!
it was amazing the difference in the "harshness" of the ride...
but neat with all that adjustability !

Oops. Probably should have mentioned this little trick a few days ago.

Oops is right :-)
I dind't install them... too lazy for that :-)
had it done @ Mansfield Gas and Exhaust for $40...
i can reach over the front tires and get to either...
just that counter-clockwise versus clockwise thingy is the next hurdle !!!!!!
