Just to let you know. Auto Alliance the distributors of Ranco Shocks stand behind the product.
Purchased a full set of RS9000 about a year ago and noticed the rears were leaking oil. Took them back today and after a quick inspection Kirk exchanged them for newbies. Gave me the new 9 position ones as against my old 5 position.
Thought it nice I didn't have to have any hasslels with warranty.

Have to agree. After doing some research (and talking to Leon) I decided against getting them on my Feroza.
Rancho appear to be of the opinion that if a shock will bolt onto a vehicle then it will work fine. The rear Feroza RS9000X is the same shock as fitted to a Ford 3/4 ton truck! Anyone who knows anything about shocks will tell you the internal valving needs to be matched to the weight and spring rate of the vehicle....
I have had ranchos on the back of my zuk for a few years now and they are great. it comes down to researching the right shock for your application. In the end I used a shock for a completly diferent app than specified (can't remember tho )
I agree that they tend to rcommend a shock that doesn't match but I think this stems from the US market where they tend to set things up differently than here
can't complain about mine, they've been on two cars now for 4 [or is it 5] years, been to the cape, the simpson, the gulf and have done heaps of hard weekends.
