Rancho RS700MT shock question? I'm Stuck

[PasoStepperProject]

good Morning all,

I want to use the Rancho RS700MT shocks on my 76 GMC K15. its lifted 4". I have some brand of EZ springs all the way around, they came installed on my new frame.

when I search for parts # I can not find the Fronts. Rear is not an issue. I even called Rancho and he gave me a part # that they say will work. I cross referenced the part # (RS7008) I looked up the shock and its for a Doge and other vehicles.

my question is I heard on one of the forums that stock rear shocks will work great for the fronts with 4" lift? Does this work? Will the ones that Rancho reccomended work up front? I'm worried about bushing size on them! I found stock rears and 4" lift rears at Rock Auto. Can anyone steer me in the right direction.

my buddy is running the 7000MT on his lifted jeep and it rides so awesome.

thanks for the help. any other suggestions are always welcome.

i would bet they will fit. at least in the bushing. if it is the same eyelet syle mount on the part number supplied to you then getting a bushing and sleeve to work would be pretty easy if it didnt right out of the box. if nothing else, call Rancho again and ask about the bushing dimensions on a gm PN for your year, and the given part number.

Ryan,

thanks for the idea and your help. I got the rancho spec sheet and the shocks are identical in the mounting options. the rear PN is the same length as a front 4" lift shock. I may just buy stock length in the 7000MT for the front and the 4" lift one for the rears. good idea on calling rancho. I don't understand why rancho does not have a listing for my 4" lift fronts

I know there are more shock brands, but buddies jeep rides amazing with his new rancho kit and these shocks.

thanks again. any suggestions are always welcome!
