Ok guys i have just got my Rancho's delivered from Sasn fran , took 3 days to get down under. I have a question, Is there any modification required to get them fitted or do they just slip right in? Thanks for your replys Fouros |

No mods required. Rancho rear shocks are an easy install. |

the shocks being to long is not the problem. Being to short and topping out is. |

you get a 10mm spacer from a TJ , a hole saw and widen the hole in the middle to slip over the bump stop |

most jeep specialist will have a 10mm spacer or at least they do downunder, you will have them, the tricky part is finding the centre. i am putting mine at the top |

Through the magic of geometry; http://www.makeitsolar.com/science-fair-ideas/90-find-circle-center.htm 
- Trace round the spacer on a scrap bit of plywood, or something - Take the spacer off and do all this geometry nonsense on the surface of the ply - Clamp the spacer back into it's original position, the centre you've worked out should be visible through the existing hole in the spacer - Take a hole saw and cut the hole bigger as required. |
