Default Re: Here are the Rancho 0" shock specs

OK, I want your honest opinion on this...

I found these aftermarket extenders online one day....



So I took a photo of them to my local 4 wheel drive auto parts store....

They had never seen them before, but were sure if I could locate them...and I found the right size, they would be perfect.

No luck...these are 2" extenders, what I needed, but too small, 3/8-24.

I asked the guy at the store, do you think I could make these with these...



these measure the same as the shock pin, 1/2-13.

Here is how I think it can work...

This is my broken-in-half front shock



I removed the nut from the top...



and screwed the threaded rod into the rod coupling nut then screwed it onto the top of the shock pin




All I need to do now is to cut the threaded rod so that it fits properly, re-install the shock.(Not the broken one shared here)

The rod coupling nut is 1 3/4", 1/2" - 13, the threaded rod is 1/2" - 13.

So....thoughts? Shall I proceed with the installation?

This only applies to the front shocks. Rear is a whole different story.
