kh1991 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 This is what I found with a little help from the button... SHOCKS Rancho RS5116 Internal Design: Twin-tube Adjustable: No Gas Charged: Yes Bushing Material: Rubber Bushing Color: Black Boot Included: Yes Boot Color: Red Extended Length (in): 24.000 in. Collapsed Length (in): 14.875 in. Upper Mount: Eyelet Lower Mount: Eyelet Pro-Comp 324509 Internal Design: Twin-tube Adjustable: No Gas Charged: No Bushing Material: Rubber Bushing Color: Black Boot Included: No Extended Length (in): 24.840 in. Collapsed Length (in): 14.820 in. Body Diameter (in): 2.360 in. Upper Mount: Eyelet Lower Mount: Eyelet What about Pro Comp? Wouldn't the 324509 mensioned above be a little short if you use to disconnect the rear swaybar? I've searched the Pro Comp's catalog and found that 325500 is a little longer: Extended Length (in): 25.740 in. Collapsed Length (in): 15.490 in. If anyone is interested, here's the info for Rancho RS9000X series that fit 87-85 Pathfinders: Rancho RS99214 (Front) 1.5/3.0” SL Lift Internal Design: Triple-tube Adjustable: Yes, 9 Position Gas Charged: Yes, (cellular gas/compressed air) Bushing Material: Polyurethane Bushing Color: Red Boot Included: Yes Boot Color: Red Extended Length (in): 14.500” Collapsed Length (in): 10.375” Travel: 4.125” Upper Mount: stud Lower Mount: Eyelet Rancho RS99116 (Rear) 1.5/3.0” SL Lift Internal Design: Triple-tube Adjustable: Yes, 9 Position Gas Charged: Yes, (cellular gas/compressed air) Bushing Material: Polyurethane Bushing Color: Red Boot Included: Yes Boot Color: Red Extended Length (in): 23.750” Collapsed Length (in): 15.000” Travel: 8.750” Upper Mount: Eyelet Lower Mount: Eyelet Rancho RS99112 (Rear) 4.0/6.0” SL Lift Internal Design: Triple-tube Adjustable: Yes, 9 Position Gas Charged: Yes, (cellular gas/compressed air) Bushing Material: Polyurethane Bushing Color: Red Boot Included: Yes Boot Color: Red Extended Length (in): 26.000” Collapsed Length (in): 16.125” Travel: 9.875” Upper Mount: Eyelet Lower Mount: Eyelet I suggest running the RS5112 if you have a lift and disconnect the rear swaybar while offroading.

Simon Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Don't worry about it. Keep in mind, that this forum, in this incarnation has been around for 5 years or so, with thousands of posts made. Chances are the question has been asked. Search first, ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj big shoe Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 FYI: You don't necessarily need to have those exact part # shocks, just ones that are close to the specs of them. I got mine cheap by surfing eBay for "Rancho" and looking up the specs on Summit Racing's website. Use the "keyword or part #" search at summitracing.com and put "RAN-" in front of the Rancho part # (i.e, ran-rs99227). Then look at the specs on that shock. I can't remember what the fronts are, but my rears are for a Ford Explorer Sport Trac (RS-99185). I just removed the bar pin and they bolted right up.
