I have the Rancho 9000's on mine and really like them. The adjustably is nice. If you get the remote adjuster for in cab use it IMHO is a little high. But they are easy to do by hand so I just set them for what I plan on doing.

Yes there is a real difference between the lowest and highest setting. I have mine on 3 for normal highway driving and seems to be just a little stiffer then stock. When I go off road I will go up to 7. Very stiff then indeed.

Yes i do wheel, but i also drive on the freeway alot here in cali the freeways are bad and it bounces alot.The guy @ ORU recommends the bilstiens,right now im stock suspension w/35'' mts and when im offroad it rides rough even if i air down to 30psi all the way around,I just want the smoothest ride possible i know it will never ride like ifs but i only want to buy the best shock in that price range.
