I am wanting to put new shocks on my rig. I have a 4x4 with the ORP. Sears has the Rancho 5000 shocks on sale. I want a shock that will give a better ride than the stock ones. Are these a stiffer riding shock, about the same or softer?

I have the Rancho 5000s and have no complaints. I like them much better than the superlift shocks that I had on my truck previously. I'm sure that many others would agree that Rancho makes fine products.

I got Ranchos RSX shocks. Love them. Nice ride on the road, but when you go off road, they perform the way they should. Nice performing shock. Got the best of both worlds.

Sounds like you can not go wrong if you buy any of the Rancho brand shocks, whether it be the RSX, 5000, or the 9000's.

I have a '94 F-150 and I just put some Rancho RS5000's on my truck this week. They are GREAT! I think they are alittle too stiff on the pavement, but once you hit a gravel road or go off-road, they are awesome. I highly recommend them.

 

I have them also, they are great.
