Ranch or Rough Country Shocks - opinions?

Post by Cyprus Geoff » Mon Dec 09, 2013 5:31 am

Does any one have any thoughts or experience with either Rancho or Rough Country shocks?

I have heard that the Rancho are a bit stiff for the little Suzuki?

Thanks,
Geoff

Cheap shocks, average results, offroad only they are ok, personally I don't rate rough country for on road/trails. None of the Zukis I've been in with rough country ride any better than cheap astra shocks.

It's not actually that expensive to buy a nice set of bilstein 5125s from the USofA and you have a choice of damping rates. (One day I'll actually order a set for mine when I can afford it!)

I have some rough country's on mine at the moment that I had to chuck on it as my procomps died.

I reckon they are a little better than the procomps but that's not saying much!
