I definately wouldnt suggest the RS5000s based on my experience. I bought a
full set(front and rear) and within a year all shock bushings were rotted
out and shot. I paid $35 and bought new polyurethane bushings only to have
the front shocks completely give up 6 months later. Whatever shock you
decide, make sure they use urethane bushings, not rubber.......and I wouldnt
suggest any Rancho product, based upon my experience with their products and
their crappy customer service. I am now using Bilsteins front and rear and
am happy with them.......but once again I just dont think the Bilsteins are
really good either, just decent. Oh well.......just have to wait till the 4"
TM lift goes on when I am run dual shocks are each corner ;)
