Shock absorbers Rancho or OLD MAN EMU
Reviews
I chose the BP-51s for multiple reasons. First off I wanted external reservoir shocks for the cooling advantages, as I love to bomb trails. I also wanted something that was adjustable... I took these on a wash boarded road yesterday and the ride quality was insane.
Pros: insane ride quality
Rancho RS5000x are about $200 for a set of 4 and they are a much better product than Skyjacker hydros. Highly recommend them.
Pros: much better product
I put Rancho 7000? Mono tubes on our 2010 and 5100s on our 2012. Both our great and will last 100k miles.
Pros: great, will last 100k miles
Mileage: 160000 km
Rancho shocks are for off-road style ride. Will absorb heavy impacts and be stiff on the pavement.
Pros: absorb heavy impacts
Cons: stiff on the pavement
You can get stock height Old Man Emu shocks that will vastly improve your ride.
Pros: vastly improve ride
Vehicle:
Toyota
Rear shocks are Rancho 9000 nine-way adjustables, set at "3-clicks in" by Mike's son Matt, who's in charge of suspension tuning.
Pros: nine-way adjustables
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
Mileage: 47000 km
I put these Rancho RS9000XL Shocks on in 2018 on my 2007 Xterra. I've only put about 20K miles on since. Very disappointed in both the quality and the soft ride they provided. I put on Bilstein 5100s, so far they feel much better.
Cons: soft ride, poor quality
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 32186 km
Bought my truck new and my ranchos were already leaking. So my opinion on them are not high.
Cons: already leaking
