Best shocks for 2” lift?

[DrBuck]

will Rancho RS 5000X shocks fit my TJ with a 2" lift???? do they offer the best on pavement ride??

RS55239/RS55241 I believe are the ones for a 2" lift. They ride very well, and are great offroad as well.

The Rancho RS5000X has the best pavement ride of any bolt-on shock in my opinion.

I just need to know if they will work with a 2" lift

 

[DrBuck]

whats the difference between the 239 and the 241 shocks? one for front and one for rear?????

They will if you order the right model/length of shock. Where Rancho's RS5000x is concerned, which would be a great choice, I'd go with their 0-2" recommendation.

I recently installed a ProComp 2" lift with @JMT s help and installed the Rancho 239s and 241s.
You will like this setup on and off road... here's a pic..

Do you plan on lifting more in the future? That may change your selection...or not.

I love that Flame Red TJ!

 

[DrBuck]

Me too-——-It is actually a richer red than what the photo shows-————

I still miss the hell out of my previous Flame Red '97 TJ... stolen about ten years ago.

For whatever reason the Flame Red just look the best IMHO. Here’s mine all cleaned up a month ago.

The Ranchos run a little long, so at 2” of lift you won’t be riding at the top of the travel. They do ride well on road with our TJ’s. You really can’t beat the price either. I’d paint them though. The paint is crummy.

What size tire? Is there a body lift?

For your 1.5" suspension lift, at the front, two http://www.gorancho.com/products/sh...er/rancho-rs5000x-shock-absorber-rs55128.html

And for the rear two http://www.gorancho.com/products/sh...er/rancho-rs5000x-shock-absorber-rs55240.html

The next size taller versions of those shocks would be too tall.

It is a 1.5 to 2" body lift and LT 245 75 R 16 tires 29.5" tall-—--they are 10 ply so I would like to trade them for 6 play tires and could go to 30" tall tires-——-and Jerry-—-that's the info I needed-—--thank you-———

Oh ok, so no suspension lift. Yes those are still the correct shocks. And don't worry so much about the ply count, just go with Load Range C tires. Avoid D or E load ratings.
