Rancho Shock help
Does anyone know what Rancho shock I could use on my 2005 leveled FX4? I'm wanting to replace the front/rear shocks. I can find the 9000XL rear shocks but can't seem to figure out which front's I need. I don't want to take out my HBS spacer. I'd like to get the 9000XL's for the front.
If you guys think I should go with a different setup, let me know.
Thanks

I think you will have to use the montoube 7000 series strut and reuse your existing coil spring. Go on there website.

Been Around!
I would avoid Rancho Rs5000's. I bought front struts and rear shocks and installed the rear's for now. I am very disappointed in the weakness of these shocks as they are not as strong as the OEM's I just took off with 114k miles on them. I went off-road Saturday and the fracking shocks collapsed, I mean all the way down and my inner fender well cut my drivers side back tire..Brand new Nitto Terra 33's and it's cut 
.
I ran the same trail with the new tires before changing the shocks and no problems at all. At this point I am not putting the Rancho's on the front and will return all 4 for a refund if possible, if not then sell for whatever I can get out of them. I will not be buying any more Rancho's for sure.

The shock has nothing to do with Ride height
All they do is absorb the impact and rebound of the springs
Were you maybe going faster through This trail versus before?

I would like to go with the 9000's but I do not want to buy the quicklift. Is there a strut that I can go with through Bilstein? I could just get a Bilstein strut up front and get some 5100's for the rear. What are your thoughts??

5100 all around you mean and yes you can do that.
