SOA Shocks

[hicruise55]

I posted in the 40/55 Tech section and didnt seem to get any info: I am about to have my rig on the road and need to order my shocks, I have run most brands, BUT I know shocks are a little more critical with SOA. I was thinking about going adjustables (Rancho 9000/Pro Comp MX-6) Just so that I could "tighten it up" a little for driving on the road. Does anybody have any experience running these shocks on a heavy PIG? Any other recomendations? What are you guys running? Thank you guys in advance, hope to see you on the trails soon

I've got the Rancho 9000s. I like them. Don't have anything to compare them with though...

I hope someone else jumps in here soon, as I will be going SOA on my low buck pig project, and would like to here some more shock talk...

My SOA Piggie came with some beat up Rancho 9000's. I'm going to replace them when I cut and turn and add in some taller leafs at some point down the line. They seem to work fine but I don't have anything to compare them to.

I have been happy with the Rancho 9000's for a few years... nice to be able to stiffen them up for the road especially for body roll SOA...

I have a SOA w/ rancho 9000 on the front and R 5000 on the back. It is a good setup for a really heavy 55. I tighten it up on road for better handling in the front.
