Review on 🌟 RS9000XL RS999044 Shock Absorber by Rancho by Calvin Hodges

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't matter! The best in shocks, struts and suspension

This is a really great product. Installed the front first. I was very impressed with the ride quality they gave me on my 2006 Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4. Then, as I was towing our toy tractor, I noticed that the front end bounced more than it did with the sticks. Twisted it 2 clicks stiffer and the front was as smooth as silk. I couldn't believe the difference! Much better than stock. I liked them so much that I ordered two more for the back. So why not 5 stars? Well I have a complaint. Adjusters can be very difficult to turn. If you can't touch them with your fingers for a hard turn (which you really can't on the front of my Dodge), you're lucky if you can get more than two or three clicks without much swearing and hassle. In the back I wanted to mount them with the adjusters facing the axle to protect them, but I can't. I wish they had offered a small metal flush adjuster that I could adjust with a thin flat bladed screwdriver like on my off-road bike. I'm considering a wireless adjustment system but don't really want to deal with catenary issues. Plus, that's 400 more bones!

Pros
  • DURABLE – Self-lubricating, low-friction seal keeps gas and oil out for faster rebound and more consistent compression, while the durable premium liquid metal finish and polyvinyl skid plate ensure long life
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
