What about rancho rs5764

[twack]

These struts look different but they say they are for libertys. Do the rs5764 work for the kj. Does it eliminate the clevis? Here they are at summit

I don't see how those would work.

 

[ridenby]

representative photo? might shot them a note about it and find out.

What they ↑ say.
It must just be a stock photo, because with that attached lower spring perch those wouldn't work.
But then again, who knows!

Just get the 17505's and not worry about if they fit or not.



By the way if they actually look like the ones in the pic they will not work on a KJ at all.You could possibly modify it to work but you will have the remove the front CV axles and then you'd lose 4wd so what's the point.

being shipped as we speak but i was just wondeirng about these because i see them on a bunch of sites for sale for the iberty and thats always what the photo looked lke

ok, so,
now that some time has passed,, and the preferred ranchos are more rare.

do the RS5764 work or not? when i look on the rancho PDF it sais 0" lift for that strut

http://www.gorancho.com/assets/application_pdf/Rancho_Suspension_Shocks_08_09.pdf

and i found a site that offers those struts ( supposedly ) for $50 each..

please put aside your prefernce for the discontinued strut ..

 

[JeepINgeek]

yes i know lol about the springs giving lift thats not what im asking

im asking if that strut is an appropriate substitution for the RSX17505

 

[Jeepin05]

Yep the front shocks are the same size as stock, those don't look right at all. From the few links provided it doesnt seem to mention what year Liberty, maybe they are for the KK?

 

[JeepINgeek]

well crap..

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

The 5000 series are Rancho's bargain basement models. You might as well go get some Monroes from Autozone.

 

[JeepINgeek]

ahh

 

[yellocoyote]

Dammit... sorry for the bad info. Was just reading what other people had done.

 

[JeepINgeek]

its all good!
doing homework
verifying
asking questions..

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Probably gonna get flamed for this...BUUUUUUUUT....

Rancho RSX is pretty much equal to the Monroe Reflex.
Rancho 5000 is pretty much equal to the Monroe Sensatrac.

By equal to, ThunderbirdJunkie means they are the same exact shock, minus the steel sleeves on the Monroes for the rear shocks.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Monroe Reflexes are discontinued, too...which reinforces that they're the same as the RSXs

 

[incommando]

Weren't the 17505's for 0 left, as well?
