I have a 4 inch lifted gq that is engineered but the old rancho's are gettin a bit old now.....they have worked well but i was wondering if the adjustable tuff dogs are better??? What are the price difference?

Tuff Dog shocks are crap, they blow out easy

On a full bodied patrol for handling i would recommend tough dog any day over rancho.
Positive- Rancho i cant remember a warranty since 2002.
negative -Tough dog i have forgotten and sick of the amount of problems.
Still i do not recommend rancho shocks on a patrol as they are not a big enough shock to properly dampen the suspension.
But i am not one for having a boat ride on the road, some people prefer their vehicle to handle like a boat, if you are like this then rancho will be a better choice.

I have heard of alot of people having problems with tough dog shocks but I must say they have been great for me, I have been running these shocks for years in 6 and 7inch lifts, one in a gu ute and now in a gu wagon. maybe i have just had a lucky run but they have been great, very soft and very hard when set

buy procomps or iron mans
rancho welds brake, toughdogs, like my old set, fall apart, literally

shouldnt be any reason for a tuff dog to fall apart. Poor setup can cause the shocks to bind and bend which then causes them to leak.
