Curious what suspension set ups others are running on lifted rigs? I have a 84 brat with a 4 inch lift. It had rancho 5000s in the rear when i bought it, blew them out and went to the adjustable rancho 9000's but those seem to be giving up as well now. Thinking about fabbing a coil under the bump stop.

 

 

Short of swapping over to a solid axel in the rear what other upgrades or options are there?

 

Anyone else had poor quality out of ranchos?

I have an 83 Wagon with a 4 inch lift. My Rancho 5000s went bad shortly after I installed them. I am also looking for a for durable replacement.

How about using Kayaba (KYB) replacements for your Subies' models?

Those gives always great performance for their value.

 

Kind Regards.

Maybe a bump stop is needed so the shocks don't bottom out
