hey i just got my first bronc and i stoked! the bronco i got has a 3.5 inch lift but im going to go up to a 5.5 from wild horse. im going to go with the system 5 and buy steel braided brake lines seperatly. my question is should i go with the rancho 9000s or the wild horse shocks for acouple hundred cheaper. any suggestions?

Hey Norcal 707! welcome to the club!!
Wild horses is a great way to go. Alot of components there for sure...some of which you wont need cause it is already installed on the rig...I would go with the 9000's... Or go all out and get Bilsteins...Good luck man it is a fun hobby I had a great time working on her....let me know about the other thing you emailed me about....

If it already has some of the proper components from Scuba then piece it together and use the money saved from not buying duplicates to get Bilsteins.
Much better shock IMHO.
Welcome to the group. Feel free to ask any questions and check out some of the other posts if you get a chance.

Welcome to the board.

I would look at system 16 and RS9000's or Bilsteins as mentioned. The front hoops are great but I don't see any reason to spend extra money to be able to mount extra shocks in the front, the F250 mounts provide the same travel at a fraction of the cost. Plus w/ system 16 you get long travel mounts for the rear too, if you don't want inboard shocks in the rear ask them to upgrade to the shock jocks or extreme rear hoops. One good shock per corner is all you need. This will give a little more money to spend on the stuff that makes a diffrence like long arms or a way to make the drivelines work right w/ the 5.5" lift.

Here is a pic of mine, and I have the F-250 mounts up front that he is talking about. I have 15" travel shocks on the front and don't come near using them even with a wristed arm.

I haven't had any today. Maybe that is why I'm so shaky. I better get to the store and buy a bottle. I guess it could also be that I quit smoking. Two and a half weeks. Man I hate being a quitter.

The worst part is I only drink about twice a year. Can't even subsidise with beer. I guess I better start on that chocolate cake that is in the kitchen. It's all I have left.

[blwngsket]

Chocolate.... You're messin with disaster.
Careful, maybe you should start smoking again, atleast get some Gatoraide.
