I have Rancho RS9000s on my 2003 ST, and am in the process of getting them replaced under Rancho's lifetime warranty. However, they are out of stock for the front shocks and have only sent me the rear ones so far.
My question is: Is it OK to only replace the rear shocks now and replace the front shocks in about a month when Rancho finally sends them to me? I've put about 130K on the existing Rancho's and recently the truck's ride feels worse than it did with the original stock shocks. The rear of the truck especially is going out of control when the truck hits large bumps, which is why I'd like to go ahead the put on the new rear shocks.
Anyone have any reason why I should wait and do all 4 shocks at the same time (other than obviously saving $$ by going to the mechanic once vs. twice)? I don't want to damage the new shocks or the truck if it is not a good idea to replace just the rear shocks. But the way it's riding right now, it feels like every pothole is shaking my ST apart.
FYI: I don't drive off-road, but some of our upstate New York roads sure make me feel like I'm off-roading!
