Good deal on Rancho RS9000X Nine-Speed Shocks

[Yefim]

I came along this site that has a great deal on these. Looks like they have a "4 for the price of 3" special so you get a set of four new Rancho RS9000X Nine-Speed shocks for $209.85 with FREE shipping! I have not seen a better price for these shocks anywhere. Too bad all four of my OEM shocks were replaced under warranty just 10K miles ago or I would be all over these.

They also have a Rancho® Dual-Action Remote Control for these shocks for $139.95 with FREE shipping as well.

here is the link

Thanks for the link, this is the best price I have seen too, and I have been looking into these for a while now.

You tell them the make/model/year/etc of the vehicle and they match it to the correct specific 9000 series shocks.

#RS99214 and RS99215.

That's a great price. I paid $79.95 each, + $60 to install, + a $20 tip, + tax = $422.59.

I skipped the remote to avoid problems and keep them set on 7. These shocks rock! If I bought a new VX, this would be the first thing I changed. I can't imagine ever having non-adjustable shocks again. You're stuck with one setting, like it or not.

I thought about installing them myself, but chickened out. I'm glad I did. One on the fronts went on easy, the rest were a bear. One of the front sleeves was FROZEN to the bolt. He said the upper rears have an odd set-up making it hard to get them on.

I think these are a good thing for everyone to change, even if you have no problems with the stock shocks.

Any reason why I would need the 9 position shock as apposed to the RS5000? I do not offroad enough (other than 3-4 rally crosses a year) to suffice the need for the adjustable ones. What exactly are the adjustments for? Ride height? Ride comfort, stiffer or softer suspension, and what type of terrain would need the stiffer suspension as apposed to the softer?

Thanks for the help guys, my OEM's are SHOT and ISUZU refuses to help since I am out of warranty (even though they have on record 4 complaints from me about the shocks before warranty ran out). Now I am literally BOUNCING down the road!!!

CaptMorgan, They stiffen or loosen the ride. you would use the stiffest for offroading and the softest for a smooth road. The 5000's are more of an offroading shock, the 9000's can be either.

I love these shocks i paid also $79 each and I did invest in the remote control unit which i think is the icing on the cake
I love the fact that i dont have to get out of the car to adjust them. as far as problems with the remote if the person dont know what there doing it can be a pain as i found out the hard way ( i even went to a authorised dealer to install it) but after 4 trips to the place and a lot of agravation i finaly decided to bring it to another guy who found out the problem ( a faulty conector) in less than 5 minutes and fixed in another 2 minutes at no charge. now everything works great!
