shocks

OK, I think I'm fixing to install my lift kit and decided to upgrade my shocks. I've heard lot's of good things about Rancho 5000's. Anybody got advice or opinions? I won't be doing any "serious" off roading and don't really want to fork over twice as much for the Rancho 9000's just because they are adjustable.... Looking for a good all around ride. Thanks.

the 5000's are stiff IMO. To me its worh it for ride to fork over the cash for the new adjustable shocks from Rancho. I always thought I had stiff springs until I went to the 9000's. I know now it was the shocks.

thanks Mudder, so you've got the 9000's set to the softest setting? Also, where's the best place to get them online?

I dont think you can get the 9000 anymore. They have replaced it with a new one. Different places had the 9000 where if you bought 3 they'd give ya one. I'd look in the magazines and myabe call some places. Someone may still have some 9000's.
