Shock absorbers Rancho or GABRIEL
For the the rear right now I put on rancho rs5000x as they were less tha half price of the eibach. The rancho was ALOT more plush with the aal than Bilstein.
Pros: ALOT more plush
Cons: less than eibach
Vehicle:
Ford
I replaced the six year old KYB Excel-G shocks with Gabriel Max Control. The reviews say they are firm shocks. They are firmer than the KYB when they were new, but not too firm . Perfect for my liking. They really handle speed bumps well and almost completely eliminate sway when driving on mountain roads. Also, the truck stays level when coming to a stop. No nosedive.
Pros: firmer, eliminates sway, no nosedive
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
It's the Rancho's. I like a stiffer ride but if you swap out for Bilstein 5100's it would 2x better.
Pros: 2x better
Cons: stiffer ride
I bought some rancho rs5000x shocks and really like them on my 99 TJ. Stock height.
Pros: really like them
Vehicle:
Jeep
Part number: RS5000X
I put in the Gabriel’s at 151k and have taken my 02 into nasty desert. They’ve held up great. For the last 40k
Pros: held up great
Mileage: 151000 km
I put Gabriel shocks and struts on mine.
For years I used Gabriel brand shocks on my pickup trucks. Couldn’t tell the difference between them and Monroe shocks.
Pros: similar to Monroe shocks
Cons: none apparent
I have the 22 at4 with the stock rancho on there. Got the truck in march of last year and already had one of the rear shocks go out.
Cons: rear shocks go out
They’ll leak within 30k and give a ride like you’re a settler on the Oregon trail, rancho sucks.
Cons: leaks within 30k
Mileage: 48280 km
And the adjustable 9000 series are so stiff even on the softest settings. Had them for a while on my E-350 shuttle bus which weighs in just under 10k lbs.
Cons: so stiff even
Vehicle:
