In cab controls for airbags and 9000s??

[C Schomer]

There is a Rancho 9000 shock that uses a compressor and control panel for 'in cab' control. Does anyone know if the control system for either the airbags or shocks would work on both? What pressure do the shocks require? I've been wanting the remote controls for my bags for a long time - it would be great to get the other 9000s and combine them! I'm thinking of getting the remote 9000s for the rear only but get the 4 shock control system and hook the bags to the other 2 outputs. I've done some web searching but can't find enough details. TIA! Craig

I can't help with your question, but this guy has some pretty cool accessories for the Rancho 9000 remote setup.

Thanks, Ryan! I'll try some stores next week when they're open and get a # for Rancho if I have to.

how's it work?

How does the whole remote setup work? I am wanting an on-board air setup anyway. Can I use the air from that system instead of using the Rancho compressor? That would sure make it a lot easier to do the install (instead of having two compressors).

try this,

truckspring.com



they also have compressors line and fittings to suit your needs.



Jwgary, all you need for the rancho's is an air source. it can be the rancho pump or any other.

I talked to Rancho today. The 9000s are the same. If you have the knob, you can take it out and convert to the air kit. They require up to 250psi and very low volume. The air kit is designed to leak so the system can't over pressurize if ambient temp increases. It is normal for them to drop off one increment/day - they have to be readjusted daily or oftener if there is an excessive leak. Sounds like a really crumby system to me!! Four Wheel Parts says that's why it's not popular. I think I will attach an allen hex head to the knobs somehow and make a long ball driver to reach them. That will be better than having to crawl underneath to adjust them. Time to shop for airbag controls. Thanks Todd for posting that site! They show all the different systems. Craig
