Rancho 9000XLs

Installed them on my ex Wed. and I got to drive it today. Took it to get new tires. Had set them on 5 to start. My wife said it firmed up the ride(she had it yesterday). Today I thought it was a bit stiff for my liking. After new Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO 2s in 285/75R16 aired to 60psi, left the shop and wow not only stiff but "jarring". So as I was filling up with gas I EASILY reached to each and turned them to 3. I mean easy to reach - no lying on the ground. Well hit the street and WOW!! rides like a Lincoln Continental. Unbelievable the difference. So dropped it off at my wife's work. She drove it home and said Wow it rides like a big car smoooooooth. Well worth the money better than any OEM replacement ANY!!!

I just installed mine this week as well and also the steering stabilizer. Amazing difference in ride - I have mine at 2 right now and it's fantastic. No float over bumps and very composed on the road.

I love my 9000XL's! Probably one of the most dramatic changes I have done with a mod to my EX!

Mine are onto two yrs now and still love em. They are getting a good work out going over speed bumps while we are on holidays because they don't see any at home. I take the speed bumps at speed, so the suspension gets a nice workout/ stretch.
