OK ba talaga ang Rancho 9000?

tapos kakabitan ng remote control? meron kasing may kursunada sa bilstein shocks ko. di ba ito madaling masira kapag madalas kong i-adjust ang setting?

Rancho has had enough praises for its adjustable gas pressures. Most 4 wheelers have used this brand, and they have no complains about it. One that I heard though, oil tends to leak out sooner when you adjust it too often. And remote adjust isn't that good in their reports.

Naka-Bilstein ka na maghahanap ka pa ng iba?

na aliw kasi ako dun sa remote control nya. nakita ko yung sa isang friend ko nakakabit sa frontier. pero hindi ko na-try i-drive.
high praises kasi sya kapag naka soft yung setting. pero kapag high speed cruising na daw, dapat naka set sa mid dahil maalon na daw.

You only get the variable setting options other than that wala na. Btw, setting 5 has the same stiffness as an oem shocks.

I use 9000's on my Samurai and I'm very pleased with its performance. The soft setting is great when doing slow offroad sections that require articulation. The harder settings are great when playing "rally driver" on gravel road. The highest setting is really most beneficial if you are towing because it helps minimize squatting and it is definitely harder than oem shocks in my case. I guess it also depends on the weight of the vehicle. As for oil leaks at the shock base. This is usually caused by improper fitment of the air hose into the valve. It is not normal for the shock to leak even if you constantly adjust your settings using the onboard kit.

In my experience though, after the novelty is gone, one usually ends up keeping it in a setting that is comfortable in most situations. In my case, number 2. Just my 2 cents.
