I had adjustable 9000s on my SRW with the same TC. They were a good bandaid for a combination that was stretched to the max. My F450 with Bilsteins is a much better combination and much better ride, but I also am not stretching the capability any more.
In any case, I think both shocks have a reason to be. If your setup is stretched near the limit, and you ride empty a lot, the 9000s are a pretty good solution.
I remember one time I was riding empty on a gravel road that I almost bounced the SRW off of at 25. I had my tailgate on, but otherwise, I was in hauling mode. My tire pressure was up and the 9000s were up as well. After turning the shocks down and dropping the pressure, I felt much safer. The point being, the 9000s really do slow the suspension and make it much stiffer. YMMV.
