Question Rancho rs5000 question

if I put these on the front and stockers on the rear will I get a front end lift?

if not I'm going to put 4 rs5000s on and crank on the torsions.....

the Rancho website says 1-2.5" lift, but in other spots on the site it doesn't mention any lift.



2002 Screw 4x4 5.4.

thanks.

The lift Rancho was talking about means you can run that size shock with 1 - 2.5" lift. Meaning that much suspension lift has been added to the truck before the shocks were put on.

Don't get the 5000s. I've heard nothing but complaints and I hate mine.

Shocks do not provide lift, period. Chief explained it pretty well. You can push a shock in with your bare hands, how could it lift the front of a truck?? Seriously though, shocks do not support any weight at all. 5000's are a great shock for an average shocks. They're worth the money if that's all your spending but there's far better out there.

Bilstein does offer shocks that will lift your truck about 1 or 2", and Rancho has a set that does the same thing, do a little research, I can't remember the models.
