Rancho 9000X shocks?

[toy4x4runner]

Debating getting a set for my truck. I'm also looking at the Edelbrock IAS shocks. Does anyone have any experiecne with either? I'm running universal shocks, b/c I have a 4runner with leafs front and rear. so I put some RS5012's all around it rides like $HIZIT. stiff as hell. Edelbrock says they're application engineered which kina worries me...

bump.... it's down to Procomp MX6's or some RS9K's. the Ranchos are NOT gas charged and 9 position adjustable. the Procomps are 6 way adjustable and gas charged. so from i've been reading the procomps will incrase spring rate and the rancho's won't. wonder which I should go with?

I had Edelbrock with stock springs/no lift and they were great. I lifted TC 2" and Edelbrock doesn't cover that, so I used TC gas shocks, mistake. I tried Rancho, their appl. chart was completely incorrect, compounded with nimrods at 4wheelparts. I'm not sure if I'm through with lift yet.

well I'm pretty sure I"m gonna try the RS9000's out. They're just plain adjustable hydraulic shocks. the Procomps are nitro, so they WILL increase spring rate a bit. even says on their site they weill. I'm trying to make my rig flexy and already seem to have stiff springs... so i don't want stiffer springs.

I have 9000s and like them very much. Not too stiff. 5000s are way on the other end of the stiffness scale from 9000s set at 2-3 (soft). I run mine at 3, as I run around with a lot of junk in the back so it needs to be a bit stiffer. I run at 2 without junk. Nice ride.

Yeah the RS5000's are so dang stiff it aint funny. I"m running some RS5012's which I think are for 4-5" lifted Superduty F250's on my 94 4runner. they're harder to extend than they are to compress.
