Which shocks should i get? the Nitro or the RS9000's. (Like the idea of the ride ajustment)
Over here in Oz the whole suspension redo is $1000 for OME. Ranchos RS9000's are $700 for 4 (exc springs). Eithere way im going for OME springs. So which combo do you guys think is the best?

is that $1000 for OME shocks & springs

and $700 for Rancho shocks only

if yes, what will your total bill be for full Rancho shock & OME spring suspension set up? If costs for OME vs. Rancho are the same, I'd definitely go OME all the way. You can usually save some $$$ by going Rancho, though. Rancho's can also give you some more shock travel, if that's your bag...

yeah, but ratio of OME package to Rancho package is the same, whether it's $US, $AU, or $pretty rocks.

unless Jonny's saying $1000AU for OME (a little under $500US) vs. $700US for Rancho (about $1420AU). Guess I need to know his units!

I like sphalerite crystals myself.. Good semi-metallic luster, 6 directions of cleavage, and useful for galvanizing.


Good point on the ratio... definitely more bang for the buck w/ the OME it seems...

For the full set of niros it $500 makeing the spring package just under $500. So a Rancho setyup would cost $1200 with incab controller it would be $1700.
OME being made in OZ have great service they will air freight replacments to the nearest dealer even if your on a trip. So OME win for service. Just wonder money aside what shocks werer better. So far OME are winning.

Go with the OME. and save some money and buy other toys. Have you ever driven with anyone with either set up. You may want to try that. OME will have the proper valving. And service OME how would the Rancho service be. And if some day you come across someone who is running Rancho's and you like them Sell the Nitro's. If you go to Utilities and do a keyword search for Rancho's you may get a idea what people feel.
Good Luck
