Rancho Hoop/dual Shock Setup For Gmt900

AllBlkdOut07 · January 21, 2010

I may add this mod to my truck but am having a hard time finding a part number. I've googled and even been to the Rancho site, the catalog is down indefinitely for whatever reason. I may be able to get a hold of lightly used rancho shocks I would just repaint, as well as the hoop brackets for cheap, then just have my own unique hoops fabbed up. Just want to get an idea of price on the whole setup versus purchasing used parts/custom fab work.

Anyone either

1. Have a part number

2. Have pics of this installed on their GMT900

Thanks guys

Nothing? dang

I think a coilover w/reservior would be a much better upgrade and look awesome...

Yeah, and a hell of a lot more coin too.

so NOW you're going to start skimping out on your truck?? c'mon dude.... a run-o-the-mill dual shock kit doesn't belong on the type of 'show' truck you're aiming for. Do it right

Who's aiming for a show truck?

Rancho what? I have a 4" (really a 5") SL and have had no issues, nor have I heard of any.

I was thinking of fabricating my own hoops.

i had an old k-5 in high school with 15 inches of lift and 40's, me and a buddy got some ranchos for right cheap cuz we both bought them, BOTH SETS, i mean 8 shocks in total spewed out the oil in like 4 months...we had boots on them too...juuuuuunk i thought, maybe they are made different but i will never buy them again...thats a nice truck by the way...lots of effort put into that..why would you wanna go with cheap Ranchos, put something nice with a remote resevior...like fox shocks or blistiens...

Just as a note Monroe builds Ranchos shocks along with about 1/2 of the rest of the aftermarket shocks for trucks.
