Just got mine too. Hope they send the right size though. According to the Rancho spec. guide there are two different model #'s for the front/rear-RS99214 and RS99215 respectively (I think).

You think?
I am sorry, but they are calling me for some reason, I don't know yet, I got ony msg on my machine. I would like to know exact part #s just in case.
Anyone? Please...

According to Rancho Shock table:
RS99214 = Front
RS99215 = Rear
numbers come from Trooper listing that interchanges with the VX.
Look in "best replacement shock" thread for extended/compressed measurements compared to stock.

UPS is trying to deliver my set for two days already. They require signature and of course they deliver when noone is home. So I will have to wait till final notice which is tomorrow I believe - and then pick them up from the UPS center myself. I have an installation appt scheduled for next week already! After that, my OEM set will also be avaialble if anyone is intersted. I had all of my original shocks replaced under warranty a year ago so they only have about 15K on them.

You can call UPS and have them hold the package -- if you call them by 6 or 7pm. You probably should call anyway, just in case they decide to return it instead of hold it after the 3rd failed delivery attempt - I know they send stuff back sooner in some cases (maybe only COD, not sure).

I saw this nice upgrade over at the 4X4 Wire for the Rancho 9000 remote control kit. Apparently, age and rust will eventually cause some problems with the stock hardware. It's at least something to consider. If you feel any individual components are suspect, you can buy those pieces only.

How about for VX's with 3" of lift? Will these still work or do I need different model numbers? Please let me know... I am VERY interested in getting these but don't want the wrong ones! Any idea how long the offer is good for? I didn't see a date on the page.

TTYL!

OK, so I emailed them about the deal and also asked if they could advise me on whether those part numbers would fit a VX with 3" lift... his reply was that Rancho specs their shocks for stock ride height... in the write-up on samsoffroad.com they say, "Please specify your vehicle type and modifications on the order page. Let us know if you have a suspension or a body lift, and how much lift you have."... soooo...

Anyway, does ANYONE know for sure if these part numbers fit a VX with 3" lift? Lemme know... I'd like to pick a set up but don't wanna get the wrong thing.

TTYL!

I actually called them and talked to Rick, I guess he is handling shipping and stuff. He told me, that Rancho makes two sizes - for stock height and with 2" lift. I am going to talk to him again so I'll let you know if there is another answer to this, as I am interested in this too.
I am pretty sure someone posted on 4x4wire something about installing those shocks on lifted Trooper, but I lost that post Yet, If recall correctly, that Trooper had only 2" of lift.

[coachreed]

well, if I'm running my stock shocks with my 3" lift and having beat it off road a little and not seen problems with them getting over-extended... I guess that the set for 2" lift would be ok... I don't plan to go any bigger unless someday I go for the SAS... not sure if that will happen or not though... maybe someday. Did you get part numbers for the 2" lift set? If so, lemme know. Thanks!

Oh BTW, I posted over on the Wire... but have gotten no responses yet. I figured that would be another good place to look... but we shall see. Not a lot of VX'ers over there... and maybe they don't talk because they don't realize they are interchangable... even though I said they were in the post. Anyway. thanks again!

I'm pretty sure I have seen some lifts with more than 3" using Rancho 9000's before.

I see you just got some answers, but I also foung that post. Maybe this will help:
Update on the 'removing rear swar bars in Rodeo' issue

Edit: Rick is out of office 'till monday morning, but I can give you their phone # if you want to talk to someone else there.

[coachreed]

Does anyone know the fully extended length and fully compressed length of the stock VX shocks? That might be a helpful piece of info. Then again they may not have the compressed and extended lengths of the Rancho's on hand. Ugh... I want a set but I don't want to make a mistake and get the wrong ones. Ah well... I'll keep looking... Thanks!
