Great ride now good for shocks, struts and suspension

Installed with no problems except the boot is uncomfortable to put on and hold. The handle is also a bit difficult to adjust but it is in a safe place and I only adjusted it once. The ride is a major improvement over the high-performance Napa shocks that were there. I added an all-steel Frontier front bumper and they appreciated that the shocks didn't cut them. Have a great ride now.

Pros
  • Shocks
Cons
  • Very expensive

A noticeable difference

I had a noticeable difference from worn standard shock absorbers. Installation was relatively easy. The only small issue I had was that one discharge came a day before the other. I thought they were included. It's a bit hard to see the adjustment knob after the shocks are installed. I wish I had marked the shocks before installing them to make sure I set them up the same way. Much luck!

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Installed with factory sockets.

Installed yesterday. One shock's box was torn during shipping and I didn't notice that some of the hardware was missing. For the moment I have used the original bushings and nuts. They were installed on the front of my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 2wd. The dial for setting is available, but it is quite difficult to turn. Maybe you need to lengthen the suspension to take pressure off the valves? I need to further investigate this and I can call the ranch directly for information. In the meantime, I hopeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Big upheavals. Highly recommended.

Installed on a 2005 Dodge 2500 with stock mufflers. I mostly use the car idling as a daily driver these days and small bumps in the road cause significant discomfort in my neck. I had RS9000 for a day and they changed the world. Driving over rough roads and highways is smoother. The leaf springs will still bounce a lot over the big bumps in the road, but for the most part the ride will be a lot more comfortable. I like that I can increase the power under load. I highly recommend them - they are

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
