turbosubarubrat Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Lifting my hatch 6" and need to get a new set of rear shocks. I have done my research on this through the off road threads, google search, ect and have came up with almost nothing. In a few threads i have heard some might fit, i don't remember what i used, or they just clocked their torsion bar and used a set of rancho 5241 shocks. I have found plenty of info for 3" and 4" lifts which is what most use the rancho 5241 shocks for. The rancho 9000 shocks work but i don't want to get into air suspension on this. Thought i would ask here before i went to the parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So you need something that bolts in the same as a Rancho 5241, but is two inches longer? How about a shock designed for a six inch suspension lift for whatever a 5241 bolts into (Since the 5241 is a four inch lift over a stock EA81 rear shock).

turbosubarubrat Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm ending up getting a set of monroe rear shocks meant for a 95 f-350 4wd 4.9 from orileys . These set of monroes off ebay will work too, so will rancho rs7256's . Here is the spec sheet of rancho 5241's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 88~ish Chevy s-10 pickup 4wd rear shocks work perfect for EA81 w/6 inch lift.(6 inch torsion bar blocks) You do have to open up the upper holes about 1/8th in with a drill bit but otherwise a direct, fairly long travel bolt in (8~9 inch travel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
