Re: XJ lift opinions? OME coils with Rancho RS9000X shocks?
I have only heard good things about the rancho 9000 shocks. The 5000's
will knock out fillings.

Re: XJ lift opinions? OME coils with Rancho RS9000X shocks?
Thanks Mike.
Are there any other issues with Rancho shocks besides their excessive stiffness? I assume that with the RS9000X's nine settings, at least the softest one or two settings should be useable. :) Cliff "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:417FF637.C57AADFF@sympatico.ca... > I have only heard good things about the rancho 9000 shocks.

Hi Cliff,
Sounds like you want the cushy TJ setting, that break axles with their bouncing. You might want a little tire control, like Real Jeeps.
