Has anyone had any experience with Rancho RS(unfortunate designation) 9000 shocks with the in cab control system? I have a crook lower back and thought that I might fit these to my Jackaroo for a trip to
Cape York in June. Also thought perhaps a
suspension seat might help. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Steven P. "may the track ahead always be freshly graded"

Thanks for you reply Jeremy, I would be interested in how they perform over bad corrugations, do they overheat? Also how much is a Stratos
seat? Many thanks, Steven P.

I've got the Rancho RS9000 shocks. The way they have valved them is just unbelievable, they are a seriously comfortable shock that seem to soften over the large bumps! They really are worth the money. They are renowned for being tough as nails but I think I broke one yesterday getting gnarly with it. I have no experience with the in cab control system, but have heard that they can give problems with air leaks. I must admit though, I found a setting that worked for me and have not changed it since (loaded or unloaded).

Thanks for your reply Slunnie, what are they like over prolonged corrugations, ie do they overheat?

No worries Steve. I can't say I've had them on extensive corrogations, and so can't comment on fade in these situations, but they seem to be quite good in this respect. In fact I haven't had them fade at all. On Saturday I had a seriously loaded vehicle with heavy tandem axle trailer on the back in the bush from 9am - 5pm with no signs of fade, then from 5.30 - 10.15pm running around on some closed trails sans trailer and again no sign of fade. I don't think the conditions here would have been as arduous as the corrogations I hear about in
Cape York though.
