Rancho RS7000 shocks ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone heard of the RS7000 Ranchos. I found a guy that must have bought out an old wharehouse or something.

Curious whether anyone has any experience with these shocks.
Thanks

No I don't but I wonder if they will fit my 4x4, how much does he want for a set?, I know the 5000 will fit my truck, but not sure about those

I've had Rancho 5000's and 9000's, in my opinion Rancho's are JUNK. They ride stiff and are prone to breaking the welds at the bushings.

Never heard of them. Rancho's website doesn't show an RS7000, but they do have an RS99700 dual remote system, and an RS97000 series steering stabilizer setup. See: http://www.gorancho.com/products.stm

TC70C10, check with your source, maybe he got his numbers crossed. Once you've confirmed what they actually are, let us know. I'd like to replace my shocks in the not-too-distant future, and I need 8 of them, plus 2 I'm using as cushioned traction arms. Obviously, I'm looking for a good deal.

I've had the 5000 and the 9000s.. I hated the 5000s and loved the 9000s.. I had the remote air pump and dual guage in the cab.. I wouldn't hesitate to go to them again. I never tried the 7000 series though, I understand they were harsher then the 5000 but softer then the 9000 on firm.
