Been reading up on the current 4 inch lift Rancho. Pretty impressive so far. Lots of bang for the buck. Also didnt know that Rancho (Tenneco) was an OE supplier to Ford and many other manufacturers for steering/suspension/exhaust components... (not talking about FX4 stuff)

Also been researching the 9000xl's and im impressed with those as well.
Anyone have this stuff that wants to share info/experience?

(not lookin for FX4 shock bashing as thats a FoMoCo issue, nothing more, nothing less)

 

I had the rancho 9000xl's on for a week luckily supplier took them back now i have king oem replacement shocks that aslo lifted truck three inches much better my oppinion Rancho is a has been made in tawian now yukk

 

i dunno about that Taiwan comment...they say MADE IN USA all over the place...and they have amazing reviews.. to each is own.

 

opps i messed i am wrong Rancho shocks are made buy tenneco which are made in Beijing, China
Suzhou, China
Gurgaon, India*
Hosur, India
Pondicherry, India
Pune, India* A good friend of mine works for rancho and wont use on his own truck

 

not sure where your info is coming from, but they are a very diversified company, with locations not only all over the US as well as the world. I dont see any of those locations listed. Not only do they make aftermarket products, but they are an OE supplier for many automobile companies including Ford to inlcude products such as exhaust, suspension, steering and more....

look into it they are junk

 

it didnt finish where it sAYS SHOCKS MADE INDIA

 

i have looked into it. and found a lot of great reviews. and all the rancho stuff is made in usa.

 

Not trying to get pissed on here but Rancho sucks. Not just because the FX4 garage.

There's much better options at the same price point.


Just my .02

 

No pissin on here but I have the Rancho 9000xl's on my truck and they ride great and give me the adjustability to tune the ride for the load.
Have you run any Rancho products other than the FoMoCo Rancho branded shocks .............? What information are you basing you opinions on, any solid facts??
I am sure they have manufacturing and engineering all over the world because mine have "Made in the USA" stamped on them and your buddy told you they were made in Taiwan and apparently somewhere else you found they were made in India.
"Tenneco is a global leader in emissions and ride control with nearly 80 manufacturing facilities and 14 engineering centers located in 24 countries on six continents."

 

I have ran Rancho on other vehicles without issue.
I went with Bilstein replacements on the truck because no one seemed to have anything bad to say about them and the stock OE Bilstein shocks on my wife's Chevy are great.

Rancho agreed to have the FX4 shocks represent the Rancho product. Doesn't matter how good or bad Rancho shocks are, people have got a bad example of what the name Rancho stands for in the FX4 shocks. You can spin it however it suits you that the FX4 shocks are not Rancho shocks, BUT Rancho agreed that those shocks would carry the Rancho name and represent the Rancho product line.

I vote buy the Rancho kit and try it.

You seem convinced that the Rancho kit is a good product.
You would appear that you have already sold yourself on the Rancho kit so why worry about selling others on it. Just buy it and enjoy it.

Interesting, holding a RS9000XL in my hand right now, Made in the USA.
A fact that we are very proud of too.

Another thing that really sets us a part is the fact that we offer our 90 day risk free trial offer on the RS9000XL and the RS7000MT. Isn't it nice to know that if you aren't happy you can return them for a refund? Also our limited lifetime warranty. Save that receipt! We don't have a record of you buying them.

 

Im goin Rancho and never lookin back..

 

I agree bad idea by Rancho on allowing FoMoCo to use them on the F-250's.
My bro-in-law has them on his F-150 FX4 and they seem to perform well for him.

 

Too bad the refund doesn't apply to all Rancho labeled products



Be sure to take lots of pics and let us know how it does.
I would have liked to do a 4" lift but wanting tow my 5th wheel level has kept me from going any higher, for now.
