Default Installed Rancho's today

I installed all 4 new shocks today and all I can say is wow. I'm a dodge tech and I showed my service manager the difference in ride and he couldn't believe they used such a garbage shock from the factory. So anyone who's on the fence about getting these I say just do it!

Great! Got pics? I myself am looking for a shock. I know the Monroes are cheaper but all these good things about rancho makes me want them. Wish donahoe coilovers coilovers or camburg would look at doing dakota stuff. Their toyota stuff is awesome.

I got them for $340.00 cdn due to a screw up with the aftermarket shop I had ordered them through. They quoted me that, then when they showed up they were almost $600.00 so I told them to stuff it. Two weeks later I get a phone call and the price is back to what I was quoted so I took them.

Yeah I think I might be buying myself a set of Ranchos here shortly. I am sick and tired of getting the crap beat out of me by the stock shocks.
