Post by Screwy »

On the adustable RS9000 rancho shockies..... Is the the hard setting number 5 or number 1???
and does that number have to be at the top, bottom, side etc.???? as all the markings no mine are gone.

I have them in mine, 1 is soft, 5 is hard I found it a bit hard to tell the difference between all the settings with leaf springs. I think the are more suited to coil suspensions where the ocillations are more promiment. Leaf sprung patrols are not renound for their ride :lol:
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

You dont have a stutter do you :lol:

They just don't suit my application, my springs are fairly stiff, I think they would be better for softer set springs. Thats all.

N-n-n-n-n-n-a I-I-I-I d-d-d-on't have a st-st-st-stutter :? :lol:

They wont make a huge difference on a very stiff leaf pack. I am only running a few leaves in my pack and they are quite soft, so the difference in the the shock settings is very noticeable ;)

And the answer to the original question is as others have suggested, setting 1 is the softest :cool:

I finally got off my arse and ramped the old girl with the rear shocks out swaybars off and front ranchos on soft ( the rears are too short and are standard )

Am not happy at all with the down travel in the rear. I know the front is never fantastic but the i was expecting better things from the rear. Am cnosidering taking as many as 2 leaves out of each side????
opinions...

Is 9 on the new ones the same as 5 on the old ones ? with more settings in between OR is there a bigger range of softness/hardness ?
