I picked these up on a buy 3 get one free deal from Summit back in Dec/03. P/N`s are exp-es325506 and exp-es33203, they are listed for a 4 inch lift.I FINALLY got around to intsalling them and WOW! A night and day difference from the old mega-worn Rancho RS5000`s that were on there. The ride especially over sharp bumps is much much better and the tire shake I have had at hiway speeds has been reduced by about 80%. I got em for $32.95 each (one free) and IMHO well worth it...just don`t why i waited so long to put em in, only took me about an hour and a half start to finish.

Call me dumb but these will fit stock ride up to 4 inches of lift? If they are as good as you say I wish i had read this post prior to replacing the worn out rancho's with new rancho's.

I hate the Rancho 5000's waste of time and money IMHO. The ES 3000 is a far better shock.

Ive got dual 5000's on my tank. I love them. No problems here.

Would the ES9000's be comparable to these?

The ES 9000's are heavier duty and gas charged

So, would these fit on a stock suspension, and up to 4" of lift? I also want to know, as I need new shocks anyways.

You can order them for 0-2", 2-4", 4-6", 6-8" or have custom ones fitted.

Honestly though, for an extra $2 a shock, go with the ES9000s. They are a decent shock, and lifetime warrantied. If you are going to abuse them, I would go with their MX6.

I put the ES 3000's on my 97 ram 4x4 and ordered them with a 2" lift in mind. I don't have the lift yet and my front shocks bottom out on hard jolts. So I wouldn't count on the shocks that fit lifted trucks working on non lifted trucks very well. My ride is better but I need to lift it before I blow one of these shocks out.

well i wish i would have seen this before i bought new Rancho 5000. they ride like doo-doo. valved way to heavy on compression, not enough on rebound. but now im stuck with them till they die. aaarrghh!!!

 

[RED90RC]

I said the same thing a couple of months ago, definitely going to do my research when I lift the RC...

these pro-comp shocks sound pretty good. does anyone know if they can be mounted "upside down"? they would have to have 50/50 valving. just wondering, i cant find the info anywhere online.
