I have to suggest Rancho RS9000's. I have them and they are great. They have 5 adjustable settings that are easy to change to suit your needs. You can go from very smooth for comfort to very stiff for towing with the turn of 4 *****. Oh..and they are cheaper than Edelbrocks,too. To me, thats a no-brainer!

RS 9000s. Hands down. Adjustable so you can adjust the shocks to the way YOU want, not what a bean counter likes.

Question Shock Recommendation

I am trying to to get a little less roll, bounce and sway out of my new Expy. Thinking about throwing on new shocks to see if this helps.

What do people recommend. Edelbrock? Bilstein? Rancho? Tokizo? What would the differences in these makes be?

Thanks for your help.

Ranchos RSX, have them on Explorer and the ride is perfect and in the F-150 also take a look eventhough it came out a little blury the ride is perfect.

Thanks guys. Looks like the Ranchos are going to get the nod. I hope they take some of the lean out of my turns and stiffen up the ride.

I installed the RSXs a month ago and have done a lot of off roading and highway/city driving and they are great!

Question Where to have Ranchos installed?

Can someone tell me a place where I can buy and have Ranchos installed? I am not equipped to do the job myself.

I am in south New Jersey.
