I have the RS5000s and noticed the improvement for offroading. But for the streets, I actually think they give a slightly stiffer ride. So in your case, especially if you are going to put on some bigger wheels (lower profile tires), I don't recommend them. I would look into something else like the adjustable 9000s or Bilstein, which I have heard nothing but good stuff about it.

Just installed the 9000's and I have to agree with everyone who beat me to it. These Shocks are magic! I thought the stock ride was pretty good until having a frame of refrence. The Ranchos are soooo worth the time and money. I just wish I had changed them out 40,000 miles ago. I'm running them at 7 in front and 6 in back and it feels great. I have a Lux with rear air suspension and have no drop in the rear height to report.
