Default Re: RS5000 RANCHO SHOCKS

Rancho and Monroe are owned by the same company. Monroe has some self-adjusting shocks that are real close to the stock shocks, but improve street & offroad feel & performance (Monroe/Rancho actually make the stock Hummer shocks). At least they claim their monroe replacements are much improved over the stock shocks.

If you don't have air option in rear, the 9000 & 5000s will cost you some ride height in the rear, since the stock shocks are high pressure gas charge and assist in determining ride height. The 5000/9000 shocks are not high pressure gas charged.

I am having to install coil spring spacers in the rear to get back the 1" that I lost from adding the 9000s.

If you don't have rear air option, I have a brand new set of the Monroes in the box I will let go cheap. They are aluminum/silver finish with black boots.
