Default Pro Comp MX-6 or Rancho RS9000XL

I'm looking for adjustable shocks and don't know which is better. I'm looking for a softer ride on highway, but I also want to be able to stiffen up the shocks for towing or offroad use. Right now I have Skyjacker Nitrogen charged shocks, and they are harsh on road.
Thanks

I can only speak for the MX6 Shocks.

I found on the softest setting, it felt like I didnt have shocks at all. I have the set at a couple clicks off firm and really enjoy the ride.. Very soft, but firm


What sucks it the knobs are at the bottom of the shock. One trip over the rocks and my shocks are no longer adjustable.

I had a set of MX6 shocks on my TJ, could not tell the difference from setting 1 to 6. I thought they were a waste of money. Chances are they've improved, but I wouldn't get them again. My

I'm running mx-6's and find them not too bad. I run the fronts at the 3rd position and the rears at the 4th, out of 6 of course, but that depends on the weight of your rig and the spring rate too.

I've had both, rancho's on a lifted durango and currently the procomps on my jeep. Both performed well. I would go with what you can get a better deal on.
