    SOLD Rancho RS5000X Shocks For Sale

    I have a set of RS5000X shocks for sale with less than 4000 miles of no off-road on them. If you read this forum much you will know that these are the "go to" shock of choice. I switched them out for shorter ones. These are The RS55239 and RS55241 and would be perfect for a 3-4" lifted Jeep...

    Outboarding and Rancho Shocks?

    Now this is purely a theoretical question and I am still a far, far ways away from any potential outboarding, but could you outboard using Rancho shocks? It seems as if the Ranchos are universally recommended as far as what shocks to upgrade too, with the exception of outboarding, in which Fox...

    Shock advise wanted for heavy duty use

    My shocks are worn out again and I need a new set of rears. I'm fairly hard on the Jeep and the rears seem to take allot of that. My current set are RS5000X and they lasted 9K. My previous Sachs shocks lasted 26K but I think I put up with them worn out a lot longer. They are bumped correctly...

    Possible solution for rear upper shock bolts

    So, as many jeepers before me, I've snapped 3/4 of my rear upper shock bolts on my 05 due to the 13 years of salt water splashes. While researching possible solutions, I stumbled upon this part from Rough Country It is a flag nut for an XJ to replace the welded nuts to make it easier handle. I...

    Stock suspension replacement

    This seems to be unheard of in the jeep community, but I would like to retain the stock suspension height/setup. I believe after 320k and 17 years its on the list to replace. My question is, what brand would you recommend, and what model or sizes do i need to maintain the stock ride Thanks in...

    Will 3” lift shocks work for a 2.5” lift?

    I have a 2000 jeep tj with a 2.5 inch lift I need to find cheap shocks that work well, I found pro comp shocks, but they don’t have an opinion for 2.5 inches of lift, it’s only 0-2 inches or 3-4 inches or something like that, will the shocks for a 3inch lift work for my 2.5 inch lift?

    When is it time for new shocks?

    My TJ was a DD when I first got it. I put a lift on it shortly afterwards. It's been running a RE 3.5" lift kit for around 6 or 7 years. I was finally able to replace it with another DD. I've been keeping the miles off of it for just over two years. Now, I mostly wheel it and take it on the...

    While working on Ole Yeller today ( I'll post the details of what we did on the build thread here: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/2000-tj-ol-yeller.1791/ ), we noticed that Yeller was leaning slightly to the right. We hauled it up on the lift and looked around. What I'm looking for from...

    So I'm learning more and more about my jeep every day. It apparently has coil spacers for the lift and a couple of them are in rough shape. I'd like to upgrade the springs instead of getting new spacers. I'd also like to get blue springs to match my jeep, but I don't know the spring size I need...
