do these offer an improvement over stock? i know they are adjustable which gives a softer ride, but i thought you wanted a stiff suspension for performance? also how hard are they to install? thanks guys..

Weird - here is the link I was looking at: http://www.samsoffroad.com/ranchopromo.htm
I suggest you double check when making an order. If they are available now - good find!
My order showed the sales price.
I can't even describe the improvement, it's so good.Originally Posted by etlsport
The stock shocks are certainly 'heavy duty'...some would say TOO heavy duty. After almost 65000 miles (split between Minnesota and Florida, according to CarFax), my shocks were starting to feel like concrete pillars.
After switching to Ranchos (and OME913 springs), my ride is much better. Smoother, quieter, you name it.
But I can also feel the road better. The OEM shocks were so hard that my tires were just bouncing all over the road.
If you really feel the need for stiffer shocks, then just dial the Ranchos up to "9".
I told myself I'd start at "1" and work my way up, but I'm loving it as-is for now!
