Chat to 75 cruser on here. He runs them on his 75. You can do a search for "the cashie" in the members section.

From what I've been told he was looking at alternatives because Rancho don't make those shocks anymore and you may be able to replace the shocks.

Sorry I may be confused I thought they were fully rebuildable?

Does this mean he may be selling them?

I may just pm him

Rancho make the shocks but not the coil overs. I'm pretty sure he got them from Dobbins Engineering. They are rebuildable but only if you buy another shock to go inside them. That is apparently the problem. Can't find another shock that will fit properly.

I had heard that he was looking at other shocks because he couldn't get shocks to replace the Ranchos. You'll have to send him a PM to get the whole story.

I know of a set for sale on the sunny coast. This 40 is being wrecked and has a set of the Dobinson/Rancho coilovers fitted.

These coil overs are good things as they trap the spring(work like a sway bar) and can be released via air but as said above Rancho changed the shape of the shock body and the new shape dose not fit Glens coil overs remember these were made a long time ago and coil overs have come a long way over the last couple of years with valving etc so there is a lot of options out there now.

On a side note is dobbin engineering still running or have they shut up?

[rustys]

That's what I thought but I couldn't find their website and wasn't sure if something had happened recently.
