Shock absorbers Rancho or Monroe
I did it on my 2009 Corolla standing at 130k km. The chap who installed it said that I’d need to replace those within a year. It has been four now and it is still working as it should.
Pros: working as it should, long-lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 130000 km
Monroe’s tend to be very good OE equivalents. Just put a set on a p2 Volvo v70r and they ride pretty damn good in my opinion.
Pros: very good OE equivalents, ride pretty good
Vehicle:
Volvo V70
Rancho has some adjustable shocks I’ve had on my CJ work great
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
Jeep
Rancho RS5000X shocks are a great affordable replacement that ride well, just paint the shock bodies to make them last longer and remove the sleeve they put over the shaft.
Pros: affordable, ride well
Cons: paint to last longer
I always ran Monroe shocks on my Rangers/B series since I did mostly on road driving and they held up great when I did go off road.
Pros: held up great
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
A set of rancho 9000. The adjustment actually works and you can tell a difference. Probably best bang for your buck.
Pros: adjustment works, bang for buck
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
Currently running these. They aren't bad.
Pros: not bad
They are shit shocks anyways and should be replaced with bilstein 5100s as soon as possible.
Cons: shit shocks
Man I don’t know how Rancho started being marketed as a desirable shock. They used to be cheap autozone replacement stuff. I had a ZR-2 Blazer years ago that came with factory Bilsteins, when they were worn out and shot I replaced them with Ranchos… I should have just left the blown Bilsteins on lol.
Cons: cheap autozone replacement
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Blazer
I just put Monroes on all around and my truck rides like a Sherman tank.
Cons: rides like Sherman tank
