well i went with the rancho rs9000xl on my 2.5 tf bb the shocks i bought spec out at 16.51 col and 27 ext. i took it out to the hills to see the performance of the new shocks. i can stuff either side with out bottoming out the shock. i couldnt get the tire to hang completely, but i believe the shock was close to fully ext. i was concerned with the brake lines being stretch to far but they had plenty of room. i only have pics of the front due to thats all i had time to put on last night.

as you can see there is plenty of room for 35s when the wallet reloads
i will do a review on the back as soon as get them on

 

Looks good! I will have to buy new shocks soon and those are on my list of considerations!

 

seem to be a pretty good shock so far, setting 1 is the stiffest setting, setting the valving is open for the softer ride. still have to install the rears for the total feel of the ride fromplaying with the shocks i will probably run the on a setting around 4 in the front and 6 in the rear.

 

That's definitely NOT what I was expecting when I read the topic

 

Any rubbing problems with the rear shocks - sway bar links - rims???

Did you install the rear links inside or outside??... Any wheel spacers??

I was looking for the same lift (Teraflex BB + Rancho Shocks), but I read someone having rubbing problems with it...

 

links on the outside i do have 1.5 spacers, no rubbing on the shocks, dont think so. havent installed the ranchos in the rear yet.

 

sweet deal... i ordered a set of skyjacker shocks and was wondering if they would fit. the ones i got are very close to the same lenghts as you got. 16.56" / 28.75" front and 17.32" / 29.83" in the rear. i was worried that i'd over compress the shock but if your fronts are 16.51 and you still have that much room at the top when stuffed, then i'm not worried. now i really want them to show up so i can put them on.

 

you will probably need to extend your front brake lines for 1.75 more extended

 

Did you get RS999329 and RS999330 or RS999331 and RS999332?

 

31 for the fronts and 32 for the rear
