Shock absorbers Rancho or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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
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
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
Ride quality isn’t noticeably different. Bilstein or Fox are great upgrades for the stock rancho badged shocks either way.
Pros: great upgrades
Cons: not noticeably different
Rancho gets a lot of hate on the roads. I don't know what they are worth but they seem decently built from here !
Pros: decently built
Cons: gets a lot of hate
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:
Ford
Those factory Ranchos are terrible. They are stiff as heck.
Cons: stiff as heck, terrible
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I haven't really been impressed with the RS500x. Better than Rough Country but not by much.
Pros: better than Rough Country
Cons: not very impressive
