hi everyone, I have looked up quite a few threads on where to purchase Rancho Shocks. "Sam's Offroad" came up a few times. Unfortunately they will only ship UPS and will not credit any $$ difference to Alaska. (They offer FREE shipping for everyone else.) They were friendly & courteous.

They wanted $76 for UPS ground!!! It would actually be around $51 - $55.

For instance, (4) Rancho RS9000X shocks (fully extended) for shipping(normally shocks are sent compressed):

24" x 15" x 5" @ 21 lbs. is $55.74, no discount or business price. (UPS ground)
$55.58 (Fedex home delivery)

for a set of 4 RS5000 and the box they could fit in would be:

16" x 14" x 5" @ 20 lbs. is $54.08 total. (UPS ground)

I don't know why some places automatically seem to charge outrageous shipping prices when they hear the word 'Alaska'. I have shipped 10+ years for a living, I know what it should be.


I am just looking for a place that will charge actual shipping & have fair prices.

I want a set of RS5000, I am not looking for anything fancy like the RS9000X's.

(If I could purchase these locally, I would. I live in a small town and they don't stock this brand.)

Thanks.
