Here are the Rancho 0" shock specs

[HummBebe]

Now can someone find a set that will work?

2006 Hummer H3
Front shock IFS
Clevis type bottom mount, Pin type top mount
Compressed length 13.43 Extended length 15.77
2.34 Travel


(would like to add 1.75-2.0 inches of travel to front)
13.43Comp - 17.77 Ext.


Rear Shock Straight Axle/Spring Under
Closed Barpin bottom mount, Loop top mount
Compressed Length 15.25 Extended length 23.49
8.25 Travel


(would like to add 2.5-3.0 inches of travel to rear)
15.25 Comp. - 26.49 Ext.

I have found after market extenders at of all places....Kragen Auto parts, but I would really like to get a longer travel shock.

If anyone else is interested in a longer travel shock, (for those of us who have cranked our t-bars) please chime in so we can show the makers that they would sell some.

Thanks.

I'm still trying to get more info on the Rod Halls.

All you have to do is call them (Hall Racing). Look up the number on the net and then call Chad Hall. He will personally talk to you and help you out. Very nice guy. Shocks are in stock and cost $225.00 per shock plus shipping. I couldn't swing that and all the other crap I got (getting ready for Moab) so I'll have to wait a bit. Perhaps after I blow a couple stock shocks it won't hurt as much to spend that much on shocks. Haven't had any problems yet, just want a better ride on the wash board roads.

Ok so here is the list.

Old Man Emu/ARB ....no products at this time, in development no def. date of production

Rancho......................;stock or lifted shocks no in between, no plans to improve product

Bilstein......................? (haven't checked, fingers crossed)

Procomp....................H3 owners have mounted these, any reports?

can the H3 be modified easily to fit a standard shock type?

Are my missing something here?

We have the Rancho 9000's on our truck with the T bars cranked up and no issues. Why are you looking for "longer" shocks. Without lifting your rig, you cannot get much more travel out of it.

I'll add to it:

Bilstein - Dealer only, replacement shock.

KYB, Gabriel, Monroe, King....nada.

The big problem is the clevis mount at the base of the front shock.

Rancho, and a couple others make extenders but refuse to sell without the purchase of their lift kit. Nice huh?

So, with a little ingenuity, and some help from the local 4x4 shop, I figured out a way to make extenders...

I'll post up soon....still looking for those batteries
