Shock absorbers Rancho or OLD MAN EMU
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
I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.
Pros: rides great, slight lift
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 120000 km
Rancho has some adjustable shocks I’ve had on my CJ work great
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
Jeep
Old man emu are the best. Just fit those and thank me later.
Pros: best, transform the car
Vehicle:
Land Rover Discovery
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
Currently running these. They aren't bad.
Pros: not bad
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
Pass on Rancho. I did a full set of them 4 years ago. Shop I had them done through is no longer in business. Even with receipts and invoices Rancho refuses to honor their warranty.
Cons: warranty not honored
