Is there much use for Adjustable shocks on a zook like ranchos, is it handy to run them firmer on road and looser on road or just a waste of money |

They worked good in my pootroll for the first few months, then the seals leaked like everyone else I know that has had tough dog big bore adjustables! I doubt they would be any more than a gimmick on a leaf sprung car... |

I run the Koni 80 series under mine which are rebound adjustable. I've only played with them once tho, found a nice setting and left them there. Valved quite nicely too |
