Default shocks on my4by.com?

Hey i think I'm about to buy rancho quicklifts and 9000xl shocks for my 05 2wd and I was wondering if anyone has bought anything from my4by.com because that's the site I've found with the best prices.... About $500 shipped. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out thanks!

I thought I could folow up on this. I came here to say I got a nice deal on some shocks at my4by.com and spread the word, but I did a search first and it showed your post.

If you haven;t bought them yet now is a good time and they had the best price I could find. I bought rs9000XL from them on last Sunday (7/18) and they got delivered on Thursday (7/22). I installed them on Friday and what a difference they make! Very impressed with these shocks and my4by. They are giving $100 off on a set of 4 Rs9000XL shocks.

I had other stuff that needed to be done around the house so I didn't have consistent time to spend on installing them. Over all it took about 10 hours because I kept getting interrupted. If I had to guess, the rears take about 20 minutes. I could probably do the fronts in 2 hours. Right now they're set on 4/3 front/rear, but I'm having fun playing with them. There's a huge difference from the softest to firmest setting. Next I'm gonna buy that RS999705 wireless remote so I can set them while driving and it will be able to feel the difference of each setting rather than pull over and adjust them by hand each time.

I hope you guys love these Rancho's like I have. I have a 2wd 06 and have had these both, the quicklift and the 9000xl, for almost 2yrs now (30k+) and love how they have made the truck handle and feel. I always intended on getting the wireless control as well, but never had.

5 in the front, 7 in the back. I'm running 35's on a 2wd, so I like the front to have some play, but the back to ride almost like a 3/4 ton. Saves me from changing it when I put a load on it too (pallet of grass last weekend).
