Shock absorbers Rancho or Rough Country

Rancho has some adjustable shocks I’ve had on my CJ work great

Rancho RS5000X shocks are a great affordable replacement that ride well, just paint the shock bodies to make them last longer and remove the sleeve they put over the shaft.

A set of rancho 9000. The adjustment actually works and you can tell a difference. Probably best bang for your buck.

Ride quality isn’t noticeably different. Bilstein or Fox are great upgrades for the stock rancho badged shocks either way.

I love my rancho 5000s but used bilstiens on bigger trucks in the past and those do their job well still

Rancho gets a lot of hate on the roads. I don't know what they are worth but they seem decently built from here !

I haven't really been impressed with the RS500x. Better than Rough Country but not by much.

Pass on Rancho. I did a full set of them 4 years ago. Shop I had them done through is no longer in business. Even with receipts and invoices Rancho refuses to honor their warranty.

They are shit shocks anyways and should be replaced with bilstein 5100s as soon as possible.

Man I don’t know how Rancho started being marketed as a desirable shock. They used to be cheap autozone replacement stuff. I had a ZR-2 Blazer years ago that came with factory Bilsteins, when they were worn out and shot I replaced them with Ranchos… I should have just left the blown Bilsteins on lol.
