Hi guys, I had bought a Rancho suspension kit I think 1 1/2" lift was all they offered, they had some good rebate deals on so I bought the kit not sure that was the best move but I'm all in now I got it. I removed 2 leaf springs to help soften the ride, I will mostly run forrest service roads so I'm looking for a soft ride. The kit came with RS 5000 shocks and they are so stiff I don't think I will use them and am searching for something soft as the other alternative is the high dollar adjustable shocks.

I'm running rs5000s on the Jalopy and I think they are very soft. I love them.

Thanks Ggnome, I installed them on my frame with all the running gear, no tub yet, but when I jump up and down on them they don't seem to want to budge, very stiff to pull in and out also. I know thats how they are static and perhaps ride will change when installed cruising down the road. A lot of washboard roads out here so I hate to have my favorite beverage shaken up to much ya know... but your happy so thats good. I got my tires ordered just like yours and my rims were identical to yours as well, thanks again for your input.
