Hey guys,
I will be adding a lift in June along with new tires. I just added new Rancho RS5000's that are rated to 1.5" above stock. If I go with the 4" lift (probably will) is there any way to salvage the new shocks or do I need to replace them? Thanks for the help.

You will need to replace them. They will be way to short for a 4" lift. Where did you buy the Ranchos? You may be able to talk them into taking back the old ones and defecting them out for new 4" taller shocks. Good luck!
