I just put some ranchos on my LBZ and their pretty soft... not sure if I am going to keep them. front rides good though.

How do the 9000's do on the track in the front. I want to run them all the way around for street/strip but thought about just swapping in some QA1 double adjusters on the front just for the track if the 9000's couldnt keep the front calm.

He changes his suspension like he changes his underwear I'm sure he knows that :roflmao:

I'm new to the dmax forums cut me some slack :lol:

I'm curious about how they are adjusted too now. Does it affect rebound and compression equally on every click? Or is every setting different? Would much rather have double adjustables. Looking for a shock for street/strip/towing capabilities and budget friendly.

They ride great I really like them. They are levels 1-9 and each level is just more stiff or more loose on both rebound and compression. If you want double adjustable then go with qa1 but they will not be budget friendly at all compared to a rancho.

I just do not like them on the front....


Prefer bilsteins in the front? Anything is better than the $15 monroes I threw on it, which were night and day from blown out 260k mile OEM shocks

Never tried the Bilsteins, had Monroe gas for a short period to smushy for me, Double adjustable will do what I need after a few PM's and reading some threads.

Edit:

Othergrl explains it best in this post..

After reading that post I'm really second guessing the 9000s in the front, and wanting to do double adjustables. I can't find any prices for the Viking shocks, anyone know what they'd run? Trying to figure out whether it'd be worth it to do the double adjustables now.

I did the same. Put some ebay cheapos! $100/set. But, they're better than the stock 217K mile ones that were on it!

I did 9000's on the rear and 5000's on the front on my lmm and it drove, rode and hooked up great. I did that bc I was told the 5000's were setup better from rancho for the weight of the diesel...
