In need of some new shocks B4 long

[RSG]

About the Ranchos -- I just put 900+ miles towing a bobcat one way and an empty trailer back. On the way up I cranked all 4 Ranchos counterclockwise full stop (to #1, I think). On the way back I cranked 'em all full clockwise (to #9?).

To tell you the truth, I don't notice much difference. Granted, there was 5k load going up and just an old steel trailer coming back. Today empty I still can't decide which setting is "softer", and I haven't bothered to look it up (aint on the box they came in).

I ran over a lot of rough roads going up especially, and the ride was fine. No complaints, but I agree with Bush's question, what is the need for adjustable shocks, especially if you can't tell much difference in the stiffness?

Bama! I love the "ee". Its perfect. As soon as your eyes read it, you can hear the noise in the back of your head.

Thats the only way I could think to spell it and express what I was trying to described.

I guess it worked.

Shocks weren't my problem.

The sway bar bushings are dry rotting and the link bushings were junk.

Especially the passengers side, the top bushing was completely blown.

I know I could have just ordered some new bushing for the links, but I just don't have the tools to get them out and press them back in, so I bought new links at the dealership with the bushings already in them (that's how they come now) I got them for 50 bucks and some change each.

The bushings will be here tomorrow and I get them for about 30 each.

Should ride alot better now.
