50 people here will disagree with me, but IMO RS9000's suck. I ran a set on my minitruck for 2 years and hated them from day one. YMMV, FWIW, etc....

A buddy who owns an offroad shop runs the in-cab and swears by it. Road conditions change, he switches settings. IMO, just another toy to break and require repair...

Woody uses Doetch Tech shocks and I am following his lead for the front of my Cruiser....I will be able to tell after Moab.

As for the rear...I stilll have the 9000's and I feel like they are needed becouase I keep them cranked to 5 to keep the bouncing down.

As for the controller....I had one once...not worth the trouble.

I agree with Woody, the less gadgetry to break the better. That being said, I do know of one individual who ran this at all 4 corners and was very happy. And yes, like wngrog said set at 5 on the rear will definitly help with bouncing. I have been eperimenting with 9000's and my old stiff Skyjackers on the rear. When I did my front I HAD to use 9012's (and use every bit of the travel) IMO, on the front is where the adjustibilty is really handy. If I put it on 5 it handles on the road almost as well as when I ran the stiff-as-hell Skyjacker 4inch lift. Set it on 1, and it's like a giant marshmellow. I guess your question was more about in-cab controls....For me it's too much stuff for two shocks. If I had them in the back too, they would stay on 5 most of the time, and I would just tweak on the fronts...Just MO
