| Post subject: | URGENT: FRONT SHOCK / STRUT QUESTION |
I ordered a 2" lift kit and additional two front Rancho shocks. This is the reply that the dealer has sent: "...However, those shocks that you have given me a link for will not work with the 2” Lift that you are looking to purchase.. These will only work for a 0” Lift.. I have checked with all of my Suspension Suppliers and they either do not offer a Front Shock for the Liberty or they only make a 0” Lift Shock.. So this will not work.. " Isn't there something wrong here? On the dealers website, it says "0" lift" for the Rancho shocks. Aren't all shocks supposed to work with a 2" lift? The dealer is waiting for my answer..So any help is appreciated.. These are the shocks: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx? ... rtID=56000 |

The Rancho that most folks use is the RSX17505 - not sure if that's the same as a RANRS5764 however I don't believe any of them are made for a lift (except possibly OME ) in the rear the shock is for a Durango (it was RSX17004)- but it fits the lifted KJ. |

A) what kind of lift? B) the link you provided is for rear shocks The Rancho 17505 front strut is used by many members with 2-3" lifts, myself included. However, since you are getting the struts anyway, why not just add a pair of OME 927coils (about $80 each), and you have yourself a real 2-3" coil lift. Point being if you ordered a spacer lift, cancel the order if you can. Many people here can help you with a far superior lift for the same money if you are already ordering struts anyway. |

Thank you, problem solved. All front shocks fit in a 2" lift. No matter it says 0" lift or not. So I ordered the ones shown above. |

I know you said problem solved but, The rancho website has the shock/strut specs catalog for download, and the RSX17505, and the RS5764 are the same type of unit, and have the same compressed and extended lengths, 9.75" and 13.875" respectively. So it seems to me like Rancho decided to only offer the "lighter duty" strut "RS", instead of the "Heavier duty" "RSX". Neat stuff for those who might need to replace their worn out Rancho RSX's.
