How do you like your Rancho shocks? I have a pair of the 5000s on the front and like them 80%. They still seem too soft (the ride in the front can be a bit bouncey). The shocks on the back are Monroes and they're just plain wrong. If I have both shocks installed, the back end rides like a rock. If I just run one shock, the ride is much better, but a bit uncontrolled. I want the damn thing to ride like my father-in-law's Tacoma -- the rear axle has plenty of movement, and the shocks control the ride good, and it's not jarred at all. If I've got both Monroes on the back, it feels like there's no spring action...no suspension movement at all. Like the shocks are locked up. But they're not. I hate 'em. I guess I just need to pony up the dough for some 5000s in the back also. I wondered how you like yours.

Thanks,
