[coachreed]

Just found this through a search... answering my own question...

[code]
Isuzu VX OEM KYB rally type shocks for reference
Extended Compressed P/N
Frnt 15.35 x 10.24 89721 25330
Rear 19.25 x 12.56 89721 25340
[/code]

Anyway, I guess we need something that has a slightly longer Extended length, right?

Should I get them for my 99 Vehicross? How good is the Rancho 9000 with remote?

I just received my set of Rancho shocks.

I bought them at http://4wheelparts.com


I told them it was for my VX and gave them the part numbers listed in this post.

Front: RS99214
Rear: RS99215

They shipped the correct front one but shipped a RS99001 for the rear.

Does anyone now the difference? Are the RS99215 and RS99001 equivalent?

I will give a call tomorrow to Rancho and to 4x4 wheel parts to check. But was wondring if anyone has had this problem before, or if anyone has installed the RS99001 instead of the RS99215.

Thanks!!

I have just ordered the RS9000Xs from Sam's Off-Road.
I also ordered the In-dash control unit.

I have done a few very well documented (photos and write-up) installs of equipment on other vehicles for other sites. Would the members of this site be interested in a sticky'd write-up on installation (particularly the control unit)?

I'd most likely be doing some custom dash work for the guages and buttons to be mounted.
If there's an interest in seeing this, I'll need a few days to get the digicam charged and recruit my wife and father-in-law to take pictures and write notes.
If there's no interest, I'll just slap the stuff on quickly and be done with it.

I would really appreciate a "how to" on the rancho's. As I have had a set in a box a year now.

Install of the dampers should be pretty straightforward, so I was going to spend the majority of time on the In-Dash control unit (where to mount it/the compressor, running lines, etc.) because I figured that it would eliminate any of the traditional trial-and-error installations for others later on. I could make all of the mistakes so that others don't have to.

I was considering mounting the guages for the control unit below the area that zadam has mounted his (it's not something that requires priority viewing while driving). I considered using a sheet of CF that I have laying around, but I might save that for the relocation/building in of my GPS to the current stereo location.
