I have heard Ranchos are hit and miss but have never used them myself. They sure are pretty though.
I have used KYB and was not disappointed. Mine were not Gas-A-Just but I wouldn't hesitate to try them.
Were they the KYB Excel-G? I was originally looking at them until I came upon the Gas-Just. I just think that might fit my needs a little better.

I've used the Rancho shocks on both my rangers. I used both trucks as my work truck. I'm a chimney mason. Worked great for me. I had a bed full of tools or materials and a rack loaded with ladders or scaffolding and the truck handled it all fine. I bought them because they were supposed to maintain bed height under load. I ran a 10 ply load rated cooper allseason so I couldnt speak on comfort. The tires felt like rollin on rocks but the truck handled like a truck if you know what I mean...
I know the truck is going to ride rough due to its small wheelbase. I mean they can't be any worse than my 4 18 year old blown out OEM shocks on the truck now lol.
I own a Mobile Detailing business and for the time being I am going to have all the equipment in the bed until I pick up a small enclosed trailer. I have a Weather Guard Pack Rat that I use to keep a lot of my stuff organized in. Empty the unit weighs 322 lbs. I'd say its right around 400lbs loaded plus maybe another 50lbs of loose equipment besides that in the bed. The Ranchos maintained the loaded bed height pretty good for you?
