Rancho 9000
Is anyone using these for off-roading? What setting? It seems I have to much bounce (rebound).

They're not very durable.

Re: Rancho 9000
I have had these on all my H2's. Not one issue so far. I run them 7 front 6 rear all the time. I don't change them unless you're going to be running higher speeds in sand. I only did this the one time. I felt everything was too soft, so I cranked them all the way up.
I think Adam runs his all the way up all the time.

The come with a lifetime warranty, so it's just the hassle factor. Adam has had to change his out a few times.
I love 'em, and will never go back. I take mine offroad with a 7 setting it does well. But they again, per Ken and Paragon, this is just the setting for fire roads.

Ditto. H2Rocks and I both ran the Rubicon at 9. |

Re: Rancho 9000
I had them on 9 before I got new front end parts last week, then it road too rough so I put them back on 7.
I had them on 9 for the Rubicon.
I put them on 3 on a really rough washboard road once, and they really smoothed out the ride.

Re: Rancho 9000
Thanks for the info. I'll start playing with the settings. I did my trip with them set at 5 and felt they were to bouncy for off-roading.
