I just installed a pair of Rancho 9000 shocks in the Aspen and was wondering what a starting point is for setting? It's a foot brake car with factory leafs (+1 extra) and would like to get the car to launch as even as possible without too much twist if possible.

are they nine way? i started at #9, and it was very controlled and level, but 60' was inconsistent. i backed off to 7, and it's still very controlled and predictable, but the 60' is deadly every time. i couldn't be happier.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

No i still have the carb and it's in a box until i get the car to a dyno and see how far off it is.

send it back it's junk no way an $800 carb should run slower than a $300 old faith full
