Hi all,
Does anyone have experience with both of these shocks? I have searched quite a bit but can't find a good comparison....I use my 87 GW as my daily driver and looking for the softest / cushiest ride I can get. It had an Alcan 2" lift on it with rancho 5000 shocks when I got it and rode really really stiff.
I put on stock replacement leafs and skyjacker hydro shocks (along with changing out all the body mounts)....it made a big difference, but I am still hoping to make the ride a bit more comfortable. It is still pretty jarring driving around on the terrible roads here. I was thinking of picking up the rancho adjustable shocks and running them on the softest setting....but I'm not sure if that will be an improvement over the hydro shocks.
I know I can only expect so much comfort from a vehicle with leaf springs front and back....but with the reputation the GW's have for cushy rides I imagine it can get better than it is. I have 2 other cars from the muscle car era (65 mustang and 70 roadrunner) and the ride quality in those is significantly better.
Thanks for any info! - Brian
