AHH! Suspension and Rancho 9000????HELP!!

[Kial]

Okay here I go,

---------------------5.5 superlift and the 4 coil spacers brings the front end to approx. 6.5 inches, does this mean Ill need 6.5 inch Rancho 9000's?

--------------------Will this lower my rear end after the coil spacers?

--------------------Im going to do this to the rear shock mounts : "move the rear shock mount brackets from the spring bracket to the axle housing. Most any 4wd shop will have these brackets, or they can be fabbed pretty easily. You'll gain at least an inch or more of clearance where the explorer has the lowest point." What will my rear heigh be at so I know what size shock to get (both with the shock mount moving and the coil spacing?)???

I know this is a tuff one b/c you would need my car to do it, but I need to order shocks before the whole cabamb. THANKS

Kial,

Check www.gorancho.com there is a pdf file of all of the shocks with the specs. for each. You should be able to find the info there. Also who ever welds the shock mounts on for you should tell you the length because it will depend somewhat on the placement of the mounts.

Probably need to raise the rear an equal amount as the front- extended shackles or custom springs.
