Rancho shocks with fabtech lift?

[kalebarellano]

Is it possible to use rancho shocks with a fabtech lift? I am thinking the rs9000xxx. Anyone know?

[built54]

You can use any shock with any lift kit. Those are nice shocks

[wandell]

I agree.

Anyone know of someone who has done this? I really like the rancho shocks, but I also like the bigger 6in fabtech. Which shock would I have to use? the rancho tripple x or do they sell the rs9000x in the hieght? Let me know cause if this would work it would be perfect for me.

face it fabtech makes terriable shocks i plan on updating to rancho 9000 when they buy it

[hartung14]

do the height differences in shocks go up with the amount of lift? like 6 in. for 6 in.?

[sean_somer]

yes
rancho makes two shock applications directly for our trucks (97-03 4x4s)
a 0" for stock ride height
& then they make a 4" extended for use with their lift kit

now you can get special made/custom shocks from rancho but it is more expensive.

i agree with everyone else here, the performance shocks from fabtech suck, but their dirt logics are another story.

when i had my '01 screw I had some custom made for it & they performed great

[kalebarellano]

Well, I actually have the newer f150, do they make the different lengths for that? Do they happen to have one for a 6in lift? Or would it have to be custom ordered? How much is it to custom order them?

[sean_somer]

yes they will have to be custom ordered
rancho only makes direct applications in 0", 2.5"(leveling), & 4" for use with their lift kits
the price of custom ordered depends on shock series, size, mount setup, valving, etc
since you have a newer f150, I suggest the Dirtlogic coilover & shocks
they are specially made for your truck & suspension setup
