Shocks
« on: May 26, 2008, 08:09:13 am »
Guys, I'm looking for Rancho RS 9000 shocks for my lowered truck, I looked on their website, but could not find anything but stock & lifted. The one section says "for stock, lowered & lifted applications", but I don't see any ???  Does anyone know where there is a listing of shock lengths (extended-compressed) & end type, maybe I could cross the application? Thanks for any help in advance, Lorne

I would just contact them direct http://www.gorancho.com/contact.php

I'm not sure they make them for lowered applications but they might.

I'm doing an axle flip when installing the 9". The shocks will be mounted vertical, about 13" at rest. The upper & lower brackets will be made to suit. I ended up ordering them from Calvert yesterday. One phone call got it handled, Thanks, Lorne

Chris, Yes, Calvert Racing, I talked to Travis. Sorry about that, could I have bought them from you? I guess I should have worded my question a little different. A good salesman would have told me he could get them for me & then figure out what I needed. ;) ;) I'll keep that in mind, I remember you saying you did his bars, I didn't think about the shocks though. Sorry :( Lorne

Travis is who I normally talk to.  No biggie though.
