I just want to know what a balanced shock is and how do I get one?This is where you get to explain how to do to tune the ride through springs.

The last couple pages have made me worried about the decision to order the Rancho 5000x! Still waiting for it to arrive so lets see how it rides when I install it.
Don't be. Don't let one guy confuse you.The last couple pages have made me worried about the decision to order the Rancho 5000x!
It is magic sir Wizard that you do not possess yet. You start with the middle finger and slowly rotate CW then CCW (your finger).I just want to know what a balanced shock is and how do I get one?
I remember when the 5100 was the go to shock for the TJ. And the JKS body lift. And Metalcloak. Patagonias.To be clear, I'm not bashing the Ranchos! They can't be that bad if so many people recommend them enthusiastically. I'm sure my bad experience could just be an outlier.

Just a thought; have you checked there aren't still bump stop extensions on there from the old lift?Well let’s see. My current ride can only be described as riding on garbage bags. The PO had removed the lift kit that was on it when he bought it and replaced it with a set of generic shocks meant for Land Rovers and some random shocks. The slightest bump makes my rear end slam the bump stop. I’m confident anything will be better.

Yeah, It's the original bump stop. Seems like whatever lift the PO did was a bit of a cowboy job.Just a thought; have you checked there aren't still bump stop extensions on there from the old lift?
That depends on the compressed length of the shock and how much of the jounce you want to make use of.Actually, on that note, should I put new bump stops in or keep the original ones? I'm only going up 1.5in so didn't really think I need new ones.
I hear they are the best tire ever made in the 3rd world. You don't think so? (sarcasm)Patagonias.
