Default Rancho RS9000XL?


Anyone use Rancho RS9000XL? When I hook up my toy hauler the extra 1200lbs almost four feet behind the axle causes some porpoising when I hit an uneven patch of road. The fact that they are adjustable appeals to me, I could soften them up during day-to-day driving, then stiffen them when towing. Plus they have got a buy three get one free deal.

I have a set of airbag helpers on mine. Really stopped the sway and levelled it back out with the camper on. Only about $500 total. Don't know how much just shocks will help. Might want to look into an anti sway bar for the rear axle. Also if you keep your trailer tires and rear truck tires maxed out on air pressure it may help some.

I have them they are nice but I taking mine off when I put my Kore kit on. I don't have the remote adjusters on mine so it's a PITA to make adjustments.

MAB - Good timing hugh? When will they be available? Shoot me a pm. Let me know when you send it because I've tried before and it didn't go through.

CUMMINZ- Hitch on the trailer? I'l guessing you mean the weight distribution hitch. A Putnam 28122.
