shock selection
what are the best shocks for an 85 bronco with no lift?
i was considering rancho rsx, rs5000, or the rs9000 with the nifty in cab remote system.
has anyone had experience with these shocks?
also, my tailgate window quit working a few days ago. voltage is not getting to the motor, and the motor works because i tested it. i checked all the fuses.
any suggestions.. i need to fix it really soon.
thank you.

I run rancho 5000 shocks becuase I like things simple. I don't need no variable ride adjust while you drive mumbo jumbo. You should look at what your needs are and what your vehicle is used for and buy shocks according to that. On the tailgate window, check fuses and make sure none of the wires going to the tailgate got cought in between the jams and are severed. This happened to my girlfriends 82 bronco and the window would only roll down from the inside switch, the switch on the tailgate was dead.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 29-Jun-01 AT 09:12 PM (EST)[/font][p]On the '79's, there are a couple of relays way up under the dash (behind the heater controls), that kept mine from working. Don't know if it applies to the later models.
On edit: I run Heckethorn nitro 9000's, they're cheap (less than $30), ride decent, and last forever.
