    Has anyone used these or heard anything good or bad about these shocks? I got a buddy who said a rep from rancho is metting with him tomorrow and he can get me these for dirt cheap, and my truck would be his test truck for his shop "as far as the shocks go," They are a remote shock that can be adjusted from inside the truck, let me know what you all think.

    Looks like a cool idea. It would be nice to level out the rig under different loads or rake the front down for a long highway drive.

    Put em on, tell us what you think.

    Whoops, I thought they were 'on the fly' height adjustment.

    Anyway, put'em on and tell us what you think.

    Ya hes gona call me tomorrow and let me know if he gets a test pair for his shop. I think it would be cool to be able to lift and bring my truck down. Even though I would probably just set it at like 1.5 inches and throw some 32's on.

    You can run 32s with no lift at all.

    They look like Rancho's version of the Bilstein 5100 front adjustables and they cost the same per Summit Racing's website. Also typical of Bilstein, Summit says, "Allow 8 to 10 weeks for delivery."

    The nice thing is it says that Rancho is offering a $100 Visa gift card if you buy four of them.

    It's really new. I also read that they are in fact adjustable with either a 9 position knob or their in cab MyRide remote adjustment controller.

    It says on the '05-'10 application that the lift is 1.25 inches. I don't know if this is the minimum or the maximum that the shock lifts.

    You're right Hacksaw, They are listed as $199 each on Summit Racing's website.

    Still don't know anything about this setup, but I have a buddy that swears the Rancho 9000's made the ride in his Jeep 100% better. Personally I'd rather not have to adjust my shocks but it is pretty cool to have the option.

    Plus if you can get them "dirt cheap" do it.

    If you can get them really cheap I'll drive over to Eastern WA to pick up a set from you. Just tell them that you have a 2nd Gen demo as well.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I almost went with those for my Tacoma but I opted for SAW's instead.
