[wayoflife]

Eddie I think your pull wagon needs coil overs

Was finally able to watch the whole video, very nice!

Seriously! Wait... now you got me thinking

Thank you.

Lol. I know that, because I thought I’d been shipped the wrong shocks, once.

RS5000X is our "introductory" shock, but don't let the inexpensive cost fool you, they are a great shock. The valving is really cool.
RS7000MT is a monotube shock, this is a high pressure nitrogen gas charged shock, so a firmer shock. Some do not like a shock that is firm.
RS90000XL is our adjustable shock, via a knob at the base. This is for ride feel. A 1 setting is very soft, a 8-9 is firm.
The RS5000X and RS9000XL are available for the JL now in our various SPORT systems, with the RS9000XL being released as a "stand alone" very soon.
The RS7000MT is in prototype/testing right now.
Yes we use a universal box for our shocks.
I think I hit everything on this and now here to answer questions.
If I don't know the answer, I know a few engineers.

Great job once again 👍
The front come with 9000, rear 7000, but you keeping the 5000 ??? What's the difference between all those, if you change the 5000 will it be better as you seem to feel it a bit harsh ?

The kit comes with 5000x. Are you referring to the shock images you saw on the shock boxes? Rancho uses the same box for all their shocks, with pics of each shock on different sides.

I don't want to hijack the thread, and I didn't even have a JL, I have a JKU, but I think the question will fit anyway ; the 9000 at 1 is soft as what ? And at 9 firm as what ? As firm as the 7000 ? The same kit with those different shock will behave differently ?
Thanks to take time to answer my questions guys, I really appreciate it ( all of you )

1 is REALLY soft.
4-5 is OE like.
7-8 is like a monotube, but a different firm. Think if you are towing, you firm up the rear to help with "porpoising"
Yes same kit with different shocks will have a different ride feel.
For example on my JKU, I ran RS9000XL on a 3, switched to the firmer 7000MT, and then back to RS9000XL's. Now I run my 9000's at a 7 or so. I like that "firmness" now.

1 is like you have no shocks whatsoever, 9 is like you welded a piece of rebar across your spring coils. 😎

Thanks Rancho, I will think of you when time comes to change my OME shocks

I wonder why the factory added the lean and why Rancho didn't do away with it, In a cross wind on the highway this just adds to the bricks handling

I think Jeep installed taller coils on the passenger side to help mitigate the lean JK's all have on that side. Unfortunately, I think they just over did it. Rancho isn't the only company following in the footsteps of Jeep - most aftermarket companies are doing the same.
