Default Tried The Rancho RS9000X

Has anybody tried the Rancho RS9000X shocks?
They look interesting with the in-cab tuning.

Yes I did,
I had 4 off them (rear and front).

The 1st front pair lasted for a week. The second one lasted for a month. In both cases the upper side of the shock just broke or got bend.

After I saw in sevral forums that this is a known issue with Rancho, I've put back the front stock shocks, and I'm now waiting for my new ordered FOX shocks to arrive.

If they bent or broke they must have been the wrong length for teh H3 and got destroyed when bottomingout?

They do not last but about 3 months here in Texas heat even just driving to work. They wear out way too fast!

They have a warranty which is good. but I don't like the pain of having to replace them every 3 months.

Lost count of how many sets of had to install/replace on my H2. I will never buy them again.
