devonianwalk Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Well...you can get em on there...but Rancho will tell ya they don't make one for the R50. Link to their catalog below...check out page 54 or so for Nissans. The ones AC sells....you can get them on there...but one of the bolts...believe it is the lower...is of somewhat smaller diameter than the piece on the shock...so unless you rig up some sort of shim or something...they'll be a little play in there. Again...you can get em on....and not saying you'll have a problem....but Rancho will tell ya they don't make a shock for the vehicle...and personally I wouldn't put them on. I informed AC and they said they know better than the shock manufacturer themselves. FWIW that's pretty blatant and intentional misrepresentation...not trying to make it more than what it is...but that is...what it is...just saying. http://www.gorancho.com/catalog.php Interesting. I'll let you guys know if my rig goes down in flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piste Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Interesting. I'll let you guys know if my rig goes down in flames. I'm glad you mentioned that...because of the gap between the bolt and the collar....sparks could generate and when you are making a right turn into a headwind downhill on a Sunday the sparks could make their way to the fuel line and kaboom!!!

DCgabel Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I beg to differ. i have Rancho RS5000 shocks on my R50 right now and i ordered them right from the manufactures and they were specifically for an R50. said right on the page. And they have caused me no grief. rides like a champ. Well...you can get em on there...but Rancho will tell ya they don't make one for the R50.
