I Haven't posted for so long I hate to post anything negative.  I have rancho RS9000 shocks and I just noticed one of the rear shocks leaking oil. Haven't had time to investigate yet. Has anyone had a problem with these leaking?

Just visited the Sams site and got the info for the Rancho shocks. The site referred to a deadline of the 31st of October for the free remote promo deal. Anyone know if that means you have to buy the shocks by then or if Rancho needs to receive the "form" by the then? Plain and simply, can I buy the shocks on the 31st and still qualify for the free remote control?
Seems like too good a deal to pass up as the control alone is listed at $159......
I believe that heroes are those that do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the circumstances.

I mailed my form, and did not make a copy. I believe the form said sets bought by 10/31 would qualify, and the envelope with the form must be post marked by November 12, or so.
That is from memory, so don't quote me on that. |

Update: Ordered from Sams Offroad on 24th Sunday. Called them on Thursday, very nice and gave me tracking information. See on tracking site for UPS that they shipped on Tues. 26th and are out for delivery today - Friday! Great service! Hoping that UPS does their part and I can have these installed this Weekend!
Orf, when you get your controller kit in, let us know how long it takes to get that in if you would! I will mail my form out on Saturday if UPS delivers today. |

Rancho's Installed! First put fronts on 3 and rears on 4. Seemed much like factory ride, but didn't do much driving to really compare. Then, moved front 1 and rear to 2, and this is exactly what I was hoping for....all the construction areas that are rippled and rough are now much improved on these settings! No more bone jarring! Also notice that on settings this low, it handles perfectly and doesn't seem too soft or mushy.
One other observation is in a couple different areas where I turn into a street, the pitch would rock you sideways a few times, enough to tighten the seat belt, but now, that too is totally gone! The side to side just disappeared!
Very happy, just can't wait for the controller kit so I don't have to slide my lazy self under the truck to make adjustments! Have to believe that the controller kit will be very nice when travelling and when road conditions change, etc. Wouldn't want to crawl underneath in snow, ice, and mud!  |
