Anyone running Rancho's?

I was set to get either the Monroe Reflex or Edelbrok IAS but as I thought about towing I was wondering if Rancho 9000's in back and Rancho RAS in the front would work? Is there anyone running that setup on the board? I was a bit concerned with using a self adjusting shock (up front) and a regular manual adjustment shock (in back) and how they'd handle/work together. Any thoughts?

I have Rancho 9000x's in the rear. They work great on my Explorer. They will adjust from extremly soft to almost rock solid. They give you a lot of control over how your Explorer handels. The shocks are great for towing, and really help in making the trailer feel like it is not even there. Plus all the rancho shocks come with a lifetime warenty.

In the front i have just have a set of cheep munro shocks. They work ok, but I cinda wish i had the ranchos. When i am on the highway i set them from 1 to 2. In the city i run a 3 to 4. When i tow a trailer i set them from 4 to 6. When i go off road i set them from 5 to 8.
