Hi Forum,
I'm having a slight issue....I just cancelled my Rancho shock order as I discovered that PartSource was going to sell me RS9000X for the front shocks and RS9000XL for the rear. (the XL's are the ones I want). While I'm not opposed to the 9000X's, they definetly don't look as cool as the big XL's and once ordered, PS told me they were non-returnable as they are a discontinued item.
So I started researching....it seems that Rancho does not list a 9000XL for the front of my BJ70. But looking through the sizing info from Summit Racing website, it seems that the RS999115 will work (13.25" Compressed, 20.625" Extended). These numbers seem about 2" too low based on my measurements, but they are they same lengths as the recommended RS9000X Shocks.
In summary here are the parts I am hoping to use:
Rear - RS999144 - 21.87" Ext, 14.25" Comp, Eyelet/eyelet
(as recommended by Rancho)
Front - RS999115 - 20.625" Ext, 13.25" Comp, Stud/eyelet
(not listed by Rancho as an option for my 70, listed for older Toy pickups)
All this being said....has anyone fitted the new Rancho RS9000XL shocks to their rig yet? My truck is stock...no plans on lifting it. 90% highway, 10% pipeline ROW.
I was also thinking their new wireless shock adjustment looked useful.
Cheers
