Subject:      dare I say: rancho RS5000 shocks and taller springs?
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Has anyone ever tried rancho's adjustable shocks?  In my previous life I
was a 4Runner owner and had a set of these.  I found them quite good, I
could adjust the stiffness in an amazing range depending on driving
conditions...


Would taller springs require changes to the axles?  Not that I ever would,
but I saw an article on a Defender 90 that involved adding 2 inches to the
ride height.  The author said that they could go that high without have to
worry about the axles and shaft stress.


Just some thoughts for a slow Sunday afternoon.


Thanks for your time.
Robyn
