  • Rancho Vs Bilstein

    Hi
    I have been looking at all the threads for 90 &120 suspension upgrade.I am going to renew the lot and tyres on my 90. I haven't been able to find anything on Rancho shocks.In what i have looked at they seem to be a half decent shock. Is there a reason for this, or are they not up to the job :?: If i was to go Rancho i would look at the 9000x as these are able to be adjusted

    I have looked at the bilstein setup but i read in a thread somewhere here that the one's that were originally supplied from ATS were an upgraded set. If this is so, can you purchase these from any of the Bilstein resellers :?:

    i know that suspension has been flogged to death here before but sometimes some one may have different opinions that may help.I am going to do the install myself to save some $$$$.

    Any advice would help greatly.

    Assassin Offroad (Formerly Darren from ATS) can supply the Bilsteins, I imagine there is some others that can too with the bushes and valving upgrade (Zordo??).

    Beware if attempting a DIY as others have found out, they end up spending more than the right way to do it.

        It will divert you from noticing the normal "Place your location in your profile" or "Use the search button"....

          Now on that..

          If you do a search for "Rancho" you will discover a few threads.

          There is a few members that were fitting them up (Jacto??).

          There was also a few that had experience with them and seemed ultimately "unpleased" with comments like:

          My Ranchos did the length of the old Ghan track a few years ago, the rubber boots actually melted they got that hot, but I didnt pick any change in their performance.
          Perhaps I've just made crap decisions when buying after market kits?

            I was able to get my bilsteins cheaper via a mate in the parts trade. During my research before hand, local 4wd store who would fit any brand had reports that the Ranchos adjustable were not as servicable/long lasting as the non adjustable. The rods on the adjustable type are a smaller diameter. I probably would have gone rancho if I had been able to get the bilsteins at a good price.

            I fitted stone guards afterwards (from ARB) but had to pack them out as the only ones that seems to be available are for a larger diameter shockie.
