Rancho 9000s and Defenders?

[Tikka7mm08]

Hi - Puma 90 has quite solid suspension and I was wondering about Rancho 9000s. Anyone got them on their truck? I see they have a new to wireless handheld adjuster for them too - sounds cool?!

Don't do it.

Double ditto, much better dampers/shockies available.

I was thinking something adjustable - waste of time? - my road/driveway has corrugations and on the hway the suspension is too hard (yes I'm allowing for it being a SWB too).

If the suspension is too hard for the Hwy then it's miles too hard for corrugations.

Rough rule of thumb, springs control ride, dampers control springs.

What tyre pressure are you running ?

Lower your tyre pressures. Depending on tyres, 28-32 psi generally gives an acceptable ride in a D90. I ran my original General Grabbers at 28, and run their replacement (Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar) at 31 psi.

Will do - I mean its ok for highway (motorway) but around CHCH and elsewhere there are always road works etc. I'll check the pressures too thanks.
