I replaced my factory shocks with Rancho RS5000's on my Dakota. I had them
on for about a year, and ALL the rubber bushings were completely shot. I
bought a urethane upgrade kit for $40, took out the old rubber bushings, and
installed these. I recently replaced the RS5000s with Bilsteins, and was
amazed how easily the Rancho shocks compressed after being on my truck for
only 3 years. I mean I could compress the piston with a little effort. In my
opinion, dont waste yourtime or money on Rancho shocks. For the money, you
can get alot of better shock.
