LSK long travel + ranchos?

What’s your opinion on ranchos and pairing it with the LSK +3 kit?

 

Does Rancho make long travel spec shocks?

 

heard rancho 5000s are one of the best out there

 

not sure but I heard ranchos are up there with fox depending on which ranchos you go with. king is still the dominant shock I heard though

 

not better than kings and I would say they’re on an even field with fox from what I’ve heard from the Rhode Island prerunner guys

 

I've never heard anyone say Ranchos are up there with fox. And according to accutune fox is better than king.

 

oh damn, yeah I don’t know if they have long travel spec shocks but I was planning on getting shock extenders either way to make it work

 

That's not how that works. It's the valving that's different, they're the same basic dimensions, just setup to handle the increased leverage from the new geometry.

 

This is a joke right?

 

Lol exactly what I thought haha

 

someone from the llantera Rhode Island told me either go kings or ranchos with extenders. he said he had fox before and he couldn’t tell the difference between the specific ranchos he had, I’ll inquire on which ones specifically but he said I could do a dual shock up front. im just not too familiar with the actual build part, if you could link me a YouTube video about a prerunner build that makes sense I’d appreciate it

 

Also Rhode Island isn't really known for prerunners. Maybe talk to the socal guys.

 

I wouldnt put ranchos on my kids wagon

 

not too sure if im going to do IFS or solid axle yet, cause ive been hanging with a lot of Jeep guys and they say IFS can’t keep up

 

You need to do way more research. Long travel and a solid axel swap are polar opposites and lend them to different types of wheeling. Do you want to hang with the prerunners or the Jeeps?

 

ill always be a Toyota guy but im just not too familiar with all the suspension upgrades, I’m just listening to the people that have knowledge and understand. im gonna hit up this llantera shop down by my house to figure out if they can install the extenders and new shocks for me if I end up going ranchos. what would you do suspension wise, if you were in my shoes?

 

First of all

what kind of wheeling, if any, do you do?

 

If any shop is reccomending ranchos and extenders you need to RUN

 

What do you want to do? Go fast or drive over boulders?

 

go fast for sure, I don’t like rocks
