Finally got the RS5000s on my Blazer! I will have to say for the little that I drove it, they seem to be pretty good. It is a definite that my old ones were shot, being that they were gas charged and there is no rebound left in them. The Ranchos seem to be a bit stiffer than what it was before (anything would be stiffer than what it was) and is probably a bit stiffer than when the stock shocks were brand new. Overall I like them so far, and no complaints! If there are any complaints I will repost on this thread of how they are holding up. Really would like to try them off-road somewhere to see how they measure up! Can't wait to get out and drive with them now, no more driving a boat!

I will totally agree with you there, they do make a nice shock and I do not regret getting the RS5000's at all. Rancho found a new customer for life
