Rancho shocks with OME kit
Rancho shocks with OME kit
Hi - I'm looking at pairing some Rancho rear shocks with OME coils and struts on a 5 door grand vitara. Subject to 4WD1 recommending the correct shocks for my application are there any other things I need to consider. Any feedback from existing users of Rancho with other manufacturer coils (apart from Tough Dog). Thks
Ranchos
Hey,
I have just completed a 3.5 inch lift on my 97 LWB V6 - as a result of getting the wrong springs and shocks it's taken almost 2 months to get it right - however now it is spot on and i couldn't be happier.
I have 3.5 lifted allsprings (great rate) with OME front struts and KYB rear shocks. I originally had Ranchos on the back but they turned out to be the wrong ones and had to be returned. In the time that i had them however they were way to heavy duty for the Vit, even on the softest setting with 4 up + luggage everyone was wanting new fillings and the toilet!!!
The RS9000 are only made in 1 bore diameter and for me they were a gross overkill! Now i have some KYB's on which are 590mm fully extended and give a nice compliant ride and only cost me $150 for the pair.
So my advice is save your money and just buy another good brand of shock with the right length that you are looking for.
