The shocks are quite popular. Usually you can adjust them, via a small lever, to suite ground conditions.
I would consider them myself for any future upgrade of my own.

G'day Tapage,
what is the suspension set up to do??
I tend to feel that rancho's are valved quite softly, which may be ok for crawling etc, but valved to soft for quicker stuff- even when then are cranked up. I have seen some fail also.
Hope this helps

I got a 94 hilux single cab, rears up front and 260mm longer custom springs and drop shackled rear. I run rancho's front and procomp rear.
The rancho's are getting a bit sloppy (heaps easier to pull out and push in then there supposed to be) and they are about 2yrs old, but the procomps are about 3 years old and still workin like they come out of the box.
I will be replacing the rancho's with procomps soon.

Thanks Guys ...
I'm more concern about the coils .. I'm not a fan of Rancho shocks .. no matter what if they are adjustable or not .. but a mate it's offering a good deal in a Rancho suspension ( coils and shocks ) used ..
I can buy new shocks with time .. but more concern about coils quality and ride.
