SubaSport Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of shock to put on a 4" lift 82 wagon. I was told by someone that I can get a Ranch shock that will fit a 4" lift. Anyone know what type of Ranch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Try SubaruBrats site, http://www.subarubrat.com/ He prefers Rancho stuff. I used BugPac VW Baja shock on my buggy, like them so....far. Good luck, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 For the rear you need a top mount of XP7 and a lower mount of LS26 or simlilar. If you go to www.gorancho.com and look at the specs of their shocks. They list the top mount, bottom mount, extended and compressed lengths. Just crossmatch the needed length to the type of mounts you need to get the rancho part number. You might not be able to find a LS26 exactly but any of the 12mm ones work with just a few washers to take up the space. You will also have to drill out the XP7 holes to clear the larger bolts. For the fronts, follow this: http://www.subarubrat.com/frntshk.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggbrat Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Somewhere on the internet there is a catalog showing all the monroe shocks with all the tech data on mounts, travel, compressed length, etc..... I used that to get high travel (and inexpensive) shocks for my old jeep. I am afraid I dont know the URL but I will be looking for it in the near future to put new shocks on my Brat when I put on the 3" lift. I know everyone has a different opinion but I think rancho shocks are over priced and over rated. (Dont spam me all you Rancho lovers) :-) If you want something expensive yet pretty damn cool......get some air adjustable shocks.......change your stance with a bit of air. I used to have those on an old International Scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
