Stiff Rancho's

I've had some RS5000's on my '88 Bronco for 6 months now. As expected, it made the highway drive pretty stiff. I'm getting an alignment next week, and I was wondering, will having these stiff shocks make my alignment go out of wack faster?

I haven't heard of stiff shocks ruining an alignment. If they are too objectionable, you can get softer shocks. They make them in different rates. I think the softest is PN 5005, then it goes to PN 5012, and finally PN 5019. I am not 100% sure of these numbers, but I am pretty sure the first two are correct. My friend had some that he thought were crappy because they allowed the suspension to bounce too much, but then got some new ones with the middle part number, and all was cured. They might have sold ones that are too stiff for you. Hope this helps, Ted
