Will my 5000's work with a lift?

[caleb22]

I bought a 1" body lift from ORD for my 89 Blazer. However, I have decided to do a 4" suspension lift instead (which means the 1" lift is up for sale btw...still in the box...I'll sell it for a good deal). I just put on some RS5000 Rancho shocks.

Will my RS5000 shocks work with a 4" lift? I'm not sure what lift kit yet as I'm still researching that one.

My goal is to run 35" tires versus my original plan of 33's.

Any help would be appreciated

If they are for a stock truck, then they probably won't work. You can always try, but my vote is no.

You can run 35 inch tires with 4 inches of lift, but plan on some front fender trimming. It won't take a lot, but you can't be afraid to cut the sheetmetal. Otherwise go to a 6 inch lift.

your shocks most likely do NOT have enough travel for 4 more inches of lift.

on an old worn in Tuff COuntry lift, i fit 35s with no trimming. they were about 34in tall tho.

when i moved to 36s i had to trim some, but not too much.

Thanks guys

I guess I'll stick with my 1" body lift and 33 inch tires for now then. Maybe when I wear out the new Swamper SSR tires I'll upgrade my shocks and things.

For those that sent me a PM, sorry but I'll need to keep my 1" lift. My knuckles hurt too bad from my shock install and I would hate to lose out on the money i spent for those
