I have an older set of Rancho 5000's that have seen better days.

Been looking and Skyjacker makes a Nitro 8000 has had some really good reviews,trying to get a feel for everyone's favorites shocks...

This Big Burban is 70% street 30% off road going to be involved in a little truck
pull in a bit here and was looking at my shocks and its time,so tell what you
think give me a little feedback guys.


Thanks

I run the 9000's and really like them , it's nice to be able to adjust for your needs.

I ended up going Rnacho 5000, why. Well i paid wholesale 42.00 ea already picked the stabilizer shock.Damn truck sits just a little bit high but really tight and stable.

The old shock had the red boots and were white i figured Rancho.

2 on pass side a pair el'Cheapo gabriel's...with boots
drivers front was the only Rancho 5000 shock on the truck
drivers rear were some no name shock,with a boot.

I couldn't change them but a friend did,really helped out much much better all around.

cant even think of putting 3 kinds of shock on your truck,

I put the "el cheapo" Gabriels on mine after reading about them on Pirate. Those guys hate everything... but the Gabes are considered a good value. After running them for a couple years I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
