    Rancho 9000XL specs REAR =
    RS999215

    They can be found for around $100 each with some places giving deals for buying all 4.
    Range VX or whoever can chime in---> Upon searching for these I found "Length choices" so with my lift being similar to yours I need to know that size info not just the part#, I think?

    I'm also putting on the Ranchos next week, I need it badly. After researching I think I also am going to do a small lift of 1" with the Daystars, instead of cutting the bump stops but I'm not sure what I'm looking for in regards to the Daystars.

    Can someone tell me a part number or point in the right direction for what I need for the rear Daystar 1" spacers?

    That part number refers to the length as well as the mounting sizes. The shocks aren't designed around a lifted height and are right around the same travel as the stock shocks. Old Man Emu carries the only direct fit shocks I know of that are built longer for a lift. Isuzu used a 3/4" stud on the bottom and a 9/16" bolt on the top. Matching the combo is tricky and Rancho only carries one direct fit shock.

    I recently installed longer Rancho 9000xl shocks by converting the 3/4" stud to a 1/2" bolt. Then I was able to dig through Rancho's catalog to find the shock that fit my lift best.

    Thank you, I will revisit the website and double check the Rancho part # but I was near certain on needing a size. May just have a mechanic deal with it.
