Rancho Shock Specs

Match up what you'd buy for stock so you can get the mounting codes for the upper and lower. Then, figure out something that has the same mounts, just longer travel. Ask to see the book...

...and make sure they have a good return policy. I went through 4 sets of rear shocks before I found what a needed. They just kept swapping them out for me (John's 4x4 in Boulder, CO).

The only other shocks I've had when I had a 2.5" lift were the Calmini shocks included with the kit. I wish I still had the part no's off of those - sorry...
