By: Terry L. Howe - 2/2000

Trying to find the right show for your modified Jeep is not easy. These Rancho RS900 shock specs will help make the shock selection process a true science. The first table is a table of RS9000 shock specifications with extended length and collapsed length. The upper and lower mount codes are explained in a table below.

When you pick shocks for you vehicle, the shock should not limit compression. If the shock limits compression, eventually, it will break or the shock mount will break. Bump stops should be used to limit up travel. Pick the longest shock possible that has a collapsed length that is less than the length of the shock at full compression.

"ES" Mounting Code

Shocks with an ES mounting code have an eyering and bushing with a steel sleeve. The steel sleeve will determine the length of the bolt needed to pass through the mount and the diameter will be the size of the bolt. Unless otherwise specified, the dimentions are in inches.

"S" Mounting Code

Shocks with an S mounting code have stud mount. Jeep Wranglers, for instance, use a shock with a stud on top and an eyering on the bottom. In the table, the A column is the total length of the stud compressed, the B column is the length of the unthreaded portion of the stud, the C column is the diameter of the unthreaded portion of the stud, and the D column is the thread size. All dimentions are in inches except the thread size which is in inches with the pitch.

S202.681.383/83/8-24

"EB" Mounting Code

Shocks with an ES mounting code have an eyering and bushing. In the table, the A column is the inside diameter of the bushing, the B column is the width of the bushing, and the C column is the compressed width of the bushing. All dimentions are in inches.

"BP" Mounting Code

Shocks with an BP mounting code have an eyering and bushing with a bar pin through the bushing. In the table, the A column is the length of the bar pin, the B column is the length on center of the bar pin mount bolts or studs, and the C column is diameter of the bar pin mount bolts or studs. All dimentions are in inches.
