I haven't noticed this either, but now I will have to check it.

Making me wish I had a metalcloak lift. The brackets come with their kits.

Over a $100 shock bracket? Maybe it's just me but when selecting a suspension I look at other stuff

lol...

seriously!! So are u unhappy about the shocks or that ur lift didn't come with a relocation bracket? I'm sure it's not happening to just and only the rancho shocks!!!! I like my 9000's and I haven't notice any rubbing on mine. Maybe cause I don't flex out as much as u, I don't know, but the shocks perform the way I want and need!!

I really like the Rancho's, just amazed that some companies make you buy stuff that they know you will need with their lift.

I'd like to see some pictures of those who say they don't rub.

Not really sure the point or what your trying to say? Also I didn't buy a "lift kit" I pieced my suspension together using several different manufacturers. Nothing wrong with my shocks......there shocks man. I got them based on their travel measurements, my bump stop size and tire size. If you drive on road only you will not need to push your shocks out with the brackets

$74.99 on eBay, ready for purchase today, but I agree- that's a minor item in comparison to the other components.


I have Rancho 5000x's that -almost- rub when I'm at full droop. The very top of the body slips under the frame as the shock hits full extension.

Marketing gimmicks to keep the advertised price low. Also, most people don't need those brackets. I bought the Nemesis brackets after getting the 4" travel (27" extended) Rancho 9000's all around. That's when I noticed the shocks rubbing on the frame.

For the record: you'll wanna have them welded on after you bolt them on. No reason not to.

Mine have been on 4 years 4" lift and don't rub either. Are you disconnecting the rear sway bars ?
