It can be tough choosing new shocks for your 4WD. There are more than twenty brands, offering variations in performance, quality and price. Plus, many resellers making claims that the shocks they sell, whatever they may be, are the best for your purposes. Some even claim that their shocks are 'the same' as Rancho.

We would like to set the record straight.

No other 4WD shock absorber comes close to matching the Rancho RS5000 and RS9000's combination of features, performance, quality, and long-term durability. - None!

The RS9000's extra features include:
1.15-stage velocity-sensitive valving: For a superior ride and performance.
2. VFC (variable force control): For precise flow-metering.
3. Tri-tube construction: The design allows for cooler running and extra fade resistance.
4. A five-position, external ride-adjustment knob: Allows variation of both compression and rebound damping. The firmest setting is approximately 800% stiffer than the softest. Virtually five shocks for the price of one!
5. The Rancho in-cab system can be fitted at any time: Provides push-button adjustability from inside the vehicle, whether flying up the freeway, crossing a river, or just sitting in your drive-way.
