Re: Shock recommendations?
Does anyone have any experience w/ those Rancho 9000s? If so, what model number did you use and which year rodeo, and also, how much suspension lift?

Re: Shock recommendations?
From my research, they (the Rancho's) don't make the front shocks for the 96-97 model years. They only make the rears, or I would've gotten the 5000's to try.

The Sensa-Tracs are looking pretty good to me at about $40ea.
 I wonder how they compare to the Rancho 5000's at about $50 ea, but I'll rule them out if they don't make fronts... I don't know if this is the best place, but it's one of the first links to come up when I searched. http://www.car-stuff.com/monroe/part...shock_absorber A set of front and rear Sensa-Tracs for got $156.14 shipped. I also wonder if the Monroe Reflexes are any better or worth the extra money. They can be had at the same place for $183.98 shipped.

Re: Shock recommendations?
I got my Monroe Sensatracs from Pepboys for $25 or 35 a piece. I just asked the guy if there was a cheaper price, and he said he'd give me the shop price that they sell to mechanics.

Pro Comp ES 9000
I bought some Pro Comp ES 9000 for $100 for all 4 of them. They are great on road, but I bought them for the off-road scene. They are a massive improvment over the stock 92 shocks. I highly recomend them if you want to go off-road

megavolt, Do you know how much they sell the sensatracs for at regular price? I'm not too great of a haggler, doubt they'll give the "shop" price.
92rodeoksu, Where did you buy them from? I will only be doing ON road driving So maybe the sensatracs are a better fit for me. ???

I would not get Pro-comp's, Bilsteins, Rancho's, or KYB's if you're just using your truck for the road. These are designed for stiffness, and may give you a harder ride then you'd like.
I don't recommend KYB's for "anything"!  They'll give you a ride you won't forget.If you tow, I'd recommend the Bilsteins, or Tokico trek-master's. For your every day driving, no towing or carrying loads, then I'd recommend what the majority is using - the sensa-tracks! Check out Firestone stores, they may have good deals.

Thank Ramblin.
I just saw in the weekly ad that Sears is running a special. I called and they said that the Sensa-tracs for a Rodeo is $45ea w/ free installation. So for a total of $180 plus tax, I can get these installed and save myself hours since I've never done this before. You think that's a good deal? Instead of ordering them for $156, just pay about $30 more for them installed?
