Shock absorbers Rancho or OLD MAN EMU

Everyone here will push Bilstein shocks. They're probably best for weight and wheelbase. I put Rancho on mine and leveled the truck by going 1.75" taller up front. Don't hate the ride.

Other than stock, the only "ride" I have personally experienced with specific shocks was on a Jeep with Old Man Emu installed. The quality was great, compared to the OEM's, and I had occasion to ride in that Jeep when it had both, at one time or another. Ride was greatly improved with OME.

As I do some offroading or mostly off pavement vs wheeling I’ve also liked my Rancho 5000s.

Had a ‘86 Blazer with snowplow and heavy duty suspension came with twin shocks up front when I replaced them I went with Rancho RS 5000 ?

I put those same Ranchos in my 2002 a couple of years ago. Night and day difference. I don't think my old shocks were doing anything at all.

It has Old Man Emu Shock absorbers on it already (no idea which or hold old as they came with the car)

I’ve got rancho on my stock height xj right now and it’s not bad by any means but I don’t have anything to compare it to besides the blown OEM shocks that they replaced a few months back.

Blown out ranchos

It’s the crap Rancho shocks.

I had ranchos and my truck pretty much bounced down the road. I switched to bilstein's and it drives and tows better
