Rancho Shocks on a Lowered Tahoe?

[foreverfalcon40]

What ya think? Lookin for a lil stiffer ride to stop bottoming out the front on aggressive rubs. Trucks ride like shit and has bilsteins on it. Know for a fact they are OEM!

Any other suggestions? BAGS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION! I have a Rancho Steering Stabilizer with great results. They are running a special at my job free install!

Sure why not. Make sure you get the right length. since you dropped your truck....nevver changed the shocks that makes a big difference. Very similar problem to the guys who crank the keys up and never get the longer shocks to compensate for it. my guess is that any shock that is the right length will improve what you've got.

I'm sorry they are NOT OEM shocks.

Well here at work we have computers and we put vehicles in. A certain model of Ranchos come in. Not looking for a dual set-up like you offroad guys.

Lookin at the RS5000's

Define right length...on the computer it says Stock height or raised 1in". They have other models based on 2-3" lift.

They are the Rancho 17048/17044 rear/front

Measure the length at ride height and jacked up to get an idea. I am no lowered shock expert.

I needed new shocks and simpled measured from the mount to mount and went from there. they may not be an application specifc shock...more of a universal. For example is the shocks that are on there now are 10" compressed and 16" extended, get some that are 8" compressed and 14" extended

Ok, Why did you shrink the measurements? Because it is lowered?
I plug in my VIN and it pulls up all my specs. It does show these shocks to fit. But it states in the spec for Stock Ride height and up to 1" lift.

ThinK I am better off calling Rancho? They have to special ordered aka Deposit in full before we order them. Hate to be ASSED OUT!
