Question: Best 60’ on a street/strip truck

[Josh154]

Are rancho 9000’s a good adjustable shock for a street/daily that can also be used at the track and perform decently? I see them mentioned a few times here

1.66 single adjustable qa1’s all around, track bars, three leaves, t bar bolts out and proxe st2’s

Good all around shock that doesn't necessarily excel at 1 thing. No complaints from my end, I am still running them but they do lift pretty bad at the track with plenty of horsepower.

I had better 60fts with ranches then my qa1s until 1000hp.

Sweet should be perfect for me then. Ranchos better than a bilstein 5100? Are you guys setting them up different for the strip versus daily driving?

Not nearly what you guys are doing but my best is a 1.76.

Pulled in off the street. Dropped tire pressure and let it eat. Lol

Had a 1.514 on M&H cheaters using Rancho 9000s that I think are about shot. Also using ladder bars with adjustable joints.

With good rear traction devices I’ve had luck with tieing the front end down . If the front end comes up it has the potential to unload the front tires plus it’s wasted energy that could be propelling the vehicle forward . I run double adjustable Vikings up front and single adjustable QA 1s in the rear . A lot of trial and error but I feel I have it dialed in . And the settings would need to be looser for the street unless your OK with a rough tight ride on the street .

Mines is 1.76 with kuhmo road ventures AT51's. Lol.

So with rancho 9000s can you adjust compression and rebound? If I’m understanding correctly you basically want to stiffen up the rebound so the front end stays down and doesn’t unload?

Best I cut was a 1.77 on the lmm with some all terrains. Want to bring the lml out this spring and see if I can get a 12 out of her but know I’m gonna need a dam good 60’

Rancho 9000's valving adjusts both compression and rebound with a single knob. It's either firm or soft. I max them out on 9 and they do fine up to 700-800hp or so. Over 1000hp and they are just along for the ride. Lol

i wouldnt put a HP rating on the shocks. what works for one guy doesnt carry to the next. its the full combo. tires, wheels, steering, converter, power, shocks, and other suspension parts that all must play together to get that good 60ft.

Never got it to pull those times after the motor build and big turbo. Like said above converter has a huge effect on it.

I miss boosted launches
