Any problems with installing the lift? I have a problem with the left front of mine bottoming out against the front left bump stop, did the 9000 help with that?

Skeletor86,

I haven't experienced any bottoming out problems with the lift. The 9000's sure allow for some noticeable versatility in adjustments. They were a great value for the ride they offer. The shocks wont limit the amount of travel the suspension takes, only the rate in which it travels. I suppose that at the firmer settings, the suspension compression may be delayed enough to keep it from bottoming out on all but the most extreme of bumps.

I've also installed a Rancho 3" Suspension lift with RS9000 shocks, but have a serious vibration in the rear when breaking. Have you had any similar problem?

I've not had any vibration problems with the lift. I do know from experience that having tapered blocks installed backwards, or not using a tapered block on taller lifts will cause unneccessary binding on the U-joints. The Rancho lift is not a tapered block, but maybe you got one in your kit as a mistake??? I'd start by looking at the block placement and go from there. Also, you should retorque the U-bolts after a couple hundred miles since they will actually stretch. Possibly you have some loosness going on??? Hope this helps.
