Title: need help picking shocks and struts
Post by: jaygt on July 14, 2004, 01:46:52 AM

hi i hope someone can help me with this.    i want to use the rancho 5000 on my 91 sidekick.  the rancho sight does not list shocks for sidekicks?   why is this?  i am going to use the two inch coil lift thats made for the jeep tj.   should the shock be longer for this?  i am wondering because i am tempted to by the sensatrack from the local canadian tire.  is there a part number for the sidekick sensatrack but longer for the 2 inch lift?
thanks

Jay, I think you just have to do some hunting and find a car that had a similar shock, but 2" longer stock.  Then buy and install the shock for that vehicle.  I'm not exactly sure which vehicle that is, but someone might know.

P.S. That'll probably only help you for a sensatrack.

at the parts place they have books that list the stroke and compresion leght of every shock as for the struts u will have to flip the mount or make an extension.
