Re: Rear Shock Replacement/Recommendation
Contrary to popular belief, that high pressure gas charged shocks dont assist with Ride Height, I have found this to false. They do in fact provide assistance to the coil springs because they are under very high pressure. My H2 dropped 1/2-1" in the rear when I removed the OEM shocks and installed the 9000s. However, the Rancho 9000s will provide a much better ride. My suggestion is to go with the Bilstein 5100 or 5125 series shocks or the Monroe self-adjusting shocks (both of these shocks are high pressure charged). Monroe is owned by Telico which is the same company as Rancho. Either of these shocks will also be an improvement in ride quality over stock, but not as good as the 9000s. Also, I have found that the 9000s don't last very long - something else to consider...
