Any good? Price?
Thanx

Im running them on my Toyota 4x4. They are fine on the street and being able to adjust them is cool. Now, no one on the Toyota forum cares for them on the front of Toyotas...something about no downward compression (on the fronts only) I dont know cause I dont do alot of wheelin. I believe its unique to my application anyhow. The 9000x are well recieved as well as the Eldebrocks.

Paid $200 shipped for 4 on the net.

Are the Eddy's the same shock?

boraxman · 12-04-2003, 09:35 PM

No, non-adjustable. I would check some 4x4 forums and do a little research before buying. AFAIK the Rancho 9000's are over rated but probably ok if not doing some serious wheelin. I know www.summitracing.com carries alot including the Eddys.

I am looking to add them to my camper-haulin truck. Just want the extra stability. Don't think I will be four-wheelin' with 3000# of camper on the back!

Probably be fine for that and being able to stiffen them up is nice. I dont dislike mine and havent had a problem in 2 years.

Boy shocks are $$$$

Rancho 9000's are nice shocks. Im happy with mine. I install them on customers trucks all the time with no complaints. Ive only seen about five blow out but its no big deal because rancho has a lifetime warranty. There definally a big inprovement over non adjust shocks. Price is about $70.00 a shock. Ive been waiting for the rancho 9000xr to come out.......same as a 9000 but with a rezy. Shoulda been out by now but havent seen any yet. Price on them are about $175.00 each.

I don't think anybody needs 175 dollar apeice shocks hehe.

Nobody needs bags either but they get them.

$175.00 is alot for a shock. Id never pay that if I didnt get em for cost.

I have the RC9000's on my 4Runner and I hate them. They don't hold pressure, they ride like crap, plus I've never liked rancho. Get a good set of Trail Masters...
