I appreciate you keeping the wrench goof in the vid. It helps show us average joes can do it no prob.

Thanks for the great video! Replacing my rear shocks was probably the easiest project on my 2009 JK so far after watching this video. Now on to the front shocks.

Thank you for the information . Great video just changed out all four shocks on a 2007 wrangler. Would never have attempted without your help and I only watched this video perfect!!!!!

nice install, we love our rancho xl shocks, I fiddle with the settings on our 2003 Sahara all the time, we have a 4.5" long arm lift, we keep them at #5 setting most of the time😁

I installed RS9000XL on a 2010 Ram 3500 DRW. I have a 3500# camper in the bed. I set the shocks to 9. Works great. I also use a Hellwig Big Wig Rear Sway Bar. Those two things really calmed down the ride.

Fantastic demonstration man. Will be buying these shocks for my JK soon. Thanks!

I’m installing Rancho shocks on my 2017 JK. This vid was a great help. Thanks for sharing your info.

Thank you sir!, great video, now I'm going outside to install my new Rancho rs5000x shocks on my 07 wrangler

Ordered these for our '15 JKUR a few days ago. Good video, and 5 was where I was thinking of setting them to start. They're going on a mall crawler to replace a set of basic RC shocks that feel worn out at 30k miles.

Simple & easy explanation of task. Thank you.

I found leavin the bands on helps with the install of a lot of shocks , I'm throwing on some KYB's for now . Great video ✌️✌️

Thanks for sharing and I like the additional recommendation for the shocks.

Thanks Arthur! I am putting these on my 2015 JKUR soon! Happy New Year and safe Jeepin

Great Video. Great Job. Ill tackle this mother this weekend!

Thanks for the walkthrough 👍👍

Getting ready to replace my second set of Rancho rs9000xl shocks on my 2003 3500 silverado. Watched your other video on how to apply waterproof grease to the adjusting knob. I'll do that before install on all 4 shocks. Thanks for the video as it sure helped me. I carry a 2004 Lance 1161 and these adjustable shocks are great for that. I see Rancho now offers in cab adjusting for these shocks.

Thank You for the video sir. Appreciate it greatly. 😀👍

I enjoy you channel as anew jeep owner

Thanks for the video...very informative.

Easy breezy bro thanks for the vid.

That was way easier than I thought it would be. I would have taken it in. I can totally do that.

just got mine last week now to find time to get them on

Awesome vid! Thank you!

Appreciate the great video.

Thank you for the video.

Excellent video..

Great video 👌🏽👌🏽‼️

Great video.

Great instruction. BTW. Bought mine at O’Reilyo’s. Same price as Quadratec. .

Thank

Thanks for the video! Do you still prefer the Rancho since this video?

Shock Absorber Upper Bolts 37 ft-lbs Shock Absorber Lower Nut 56 ft-lbs

Thank you for this video. Rancho provides No instruction for the Rs9000 shocks. Other gas shocks I have installed were shipped with a strap keeping them compressed, These shocks were compressed without a strap. Thinking I got bad shocks I called Rancho and found out the following: INPORTANT: These shocks are shipped compressed. THE SHOCKS NEED TO BE RELEASED. When installing the FRONT shocks, mount the the lower mount first. Then Install the boot and the top lower bushing, pushing the metal bushing washer all the way down to the nut on the upper stud, and make sure the larger bushing lip on the bushing is facing the shock tower. Then using a 11/32 or 8mm wrench on the top of the threaded upper mounting stud, turn the stud counter clockwise 3/4 of a turn or so until it un-compresses completely and guide the upper stud through the shock tower mounting hole while the shock expands. REAR Shocks: Install the top first then twist the shock body counter clockwise to un-compress the shock and guide it into the lower mount. Please add this to your video or at least in your comments.

What did you end up settling the adjustment at for on-road riding? Also, how do they ride compared to the Bilsteins? Thanks!

Would u recommend this over fox?? I have a 19 jl i mostly use it as a daily driver but of course some light off roading.

Awesome video brah! Thanks. I'm going to replace mine. Can you tell me what size shocks i need if i have a 2 inch lift?? Please advise.

Did your Rancho shocks come with a white plastic piece that keeps the shock in the compressed position? I think I was supposed to cut the plastic after installing the top of the shock. It would have saved my left nut trying to push the shock up to get the bottom in the frame mount. Any comments?

My ranchos came with a plastic cord holding them compressed. I wanted to cut the cord to hit them with some paint but i dont know if that will make it impossible to install them?

Did you jack the jeep up a little to relieve any pressure or can you do it all without a jack?

Can’t believe I payed a mechanic a couple hundred to do this never again lmao

I have a 2016 JKU...is it necessary to replace the springs as well, or just the shocks? I am just trying to get a better ride on everyday driving and improve performance on regular jeep trails, no rock climbing or anything. Currently all is stock on the jeep.

I had the rancho 9000xl shocks installed on my 2006 f150 and they will not adjust more than 1/4 turn. Removing the adj knob it turns fine. Greased the threads, it turns fine. Installing it back on with the screws tightening a bit at a time they adj less and less and when the screws are tight, 1/4 turn is the most i can adj them.

Just ordered the Rancho RS5000X, do I need to have the Jeep lifted for any reason other than to have easier access?

Hey man, how are you liking the Rancho shocks still?? I’m trying to decide between ranchos and the fox, but your videos making me lean towards ranchos... how do you like them after what looks like a couple months???

What size did you get? I am also trying to replace all 4. Looks like they only have ones for 4in front lift and 3.5in rear. Is that what you got?

Do you Like them more than the bilstine 5100 cause that's what i just ordered how long did you have the bilstine onn

how did you find dial no# 4 for your ride. i like a firmer ride on my 2 door willys.

I see you installed the boot up and the bilstein you had the boot side down??

How do you like these over the bilstein so far? I was looking at the bilsteins but maybe the ranchos could be better

How hard is replacing control arms?

Does this shock need to be installed with any type of kit , or can it replace the stock shocks.

Where under the Jeep did you use as jack points?

I just purchased these shocks. On the rear I turned them to extend the shock but I’m having problems with the fronts. They won’t fully extend by themselves. Did you have this issue?

How hard was it to install passenger side shock.. it seems like at the top there is barely any clearance for the wrench..😳

Quick question, I was in the process of swapping out my shocks and noticed top bolt front drivers side somehow got bent, can't get the nut off. any ideas?

Hi, I have a stock 2020 Sahara JLU. I won't be getting a lift, however I will be towing 3,000 lbs. What shock upgrade would you recommend?

I bought the rs5000x for my wrangler and they do not fit at the shock mount, the seals are too thick, but on the website it says they do fit my jeep, I also tried some from duralast from autozone and same thing happen, can anyone recommend me some shocks will actually fit? Other wise I'm stuck with out a shock, my old one broke as I was taking it off.

What kind of shocks did you buy for your Jeep?

I want to upgrade the shocks myself like this but i dont havethe time or tools

Hey, did these rancho 9xxx performed better than your old Bilstein? Thanks in advance for your reply 🙌🏽

I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (4 door, manual) and it has developed... the death wobble. I am guessing here, but this is probably the issue, so I'll see if I can find someone to do this for me. I dont have the tools to do it myself unfortunately -_-

I can't emphasis how important it is for you to inform your viewers at the beginning of each video what year and model Wrangler you have, especially since yours is so modified. This video is only of value to someone who has the same type as you have. From looking at your first video I learned you have a 2015 JKU. But what did it start out life as...Sport, Sahara or Rubicon? Earlier JKs have the 3.8L engine, newer ones the 3.6L. Rubicons have a different front axle and transfer case than the Sahara and Sport do. And now the JL is out. So please let viewers know exactly what kind of Jeep you have.

Mean beard and mean haircut lol

Don’t know why anyone would pay a mechanic to do this, simple.

My shocks on the rear are f***ed bounces to much in the back..

Best of luck everyone as soon as you get to the passenger FRONT.... Reasons to hate engineers for $500, Alex..... UGH

Same lame bar pin design in the rear. 😡 I can hear the snapped bolts years from now. Lol

The wind noise doesn't bother me in the slightest. But people who say um all the time is just totally annoying to me. I'm sorry, maybe it's just me.

Show the hard side, this side is cake

I wasn’t in the mood either

What a downgrade.... bilstein to rancho 🤮🤮🤮
