Rancho Shock #'s

[chris12]

Would any body have the correct # for a quad setup for a 88 blazer.Got a new set of rs5000's and they don't fit.Have to fully extend the shock and they are still just too short.And this is with the truck still siting with the wheels on. # 's are rs5118 and rs 5001.Just put 4" springs in front and 4 " blocks in the rear.

My Rancho catalog says for a 2 1/2" - 4" lift

Outer front (short shock) at lower mounting is a RS5001
Inner front (long shock) at lower mounting is a RS5118

Rear shock is a RS5112

In my personal experience with Rancho their shocks tend to be too short. It is best to measure the center to center mounting (installed height) and then find a shock that best fits based on amount of travel and adjust if you want more droop or compression.

What i mean is if you have a shock with a 20" installed height and a shock has 10" of travel that would give a shock of 15" collapsed and 25" extended if you put the shock in the middle of its' travel.
