98 GMC Yukon, stock suspension, installed at 124,000 miles - I bought four Rancho 9000XLs after reading the other reviews and doing lots of research. This is not a long term review, but I might update it in the future.The most concerning issue I've found so far was that during the install, the front passenger side shock did not extend far enough to match the full travel of the vehicle's suspension. In order to make it fit, I had to lower that side of the vehicle and compress the suspension slightly so that the shock would align with the mounting bracket By comparison, the old Bilstien shock that this replaced was simply unbolted and removed. The travel of the Bilstien shock seemed to match perfectly, while the Rancho did not. It didn't complicate the install too much, but I'm worried about what will happen if I hit a rut or pothole large enough to drop the wheel.Another issue are the adjustment knobs. These are constructed of fragile plastic which is totally inappropriate for the application. One was broken when it arrived. The shipping materials were all in good condition, so it did not appear to be from mishandling. Another broke when I tossed the shock into the back my Yukon, which is carpeted and was covered by a blanket at the time. I now have two "adjustable" shocks with broken adjustment knobs. On these two shocks, the underlying adjustment surfaces (well greased brass) are exposed to the elements and free to collect dirt, dust and grime until I can fashion a replacement.The shock boots are a joke. The ones I received would not fit on the shocks (this goes for all four) without cutting or other modification. If you manage to install yours, I commend your patience and ingenuity. Mine went to the landfill.The welds on the shocks looked sloppy. They were jagged with visible spatter on all four shocks. The finish on the welds was so poor that mild surface rust was present.To top it all off, these really didn't improve the ride or handling characteristics of my vehicle. In this respect, they are basically identical to, and possibly worse, than the shocks that they replaced. I've replaced shocks on similar vehicles (93 Suburban, for example) before and was rewarded with tremendous improvements in driveability. I would love to adjust these Ranchos and see if that helps, but I've got those broken adjustment knobs to deal with. I carry a lot of cargo in my Yukon. The first time I loaded the truck with inventory, these Ranchos sagged like breasts in a nursing home. I would dial up the adjustment, but... yeah... the knobs are broken (one front, one back).My geographical location (Alaska) makes it very impractical to return or exchange a product like this, so it looks like I'm stuck with these shocks until they wear out or I sell the truck. In short, I paid a lot of money for these shocks and they simply aren't worth it.
