Rancho Shocks

1980CJ-7

New member
I just recently purchased Rancho Rs5000 I didn't realize that the ones for the 1980 cj 7 aren't gas charged. So they just collapse jn and out when pressed in they stay...has anyone used these shocks? How well did they work?
 

i thought all shocks returned when pushed in? hmm, i am learning something here if they don;t

This is what I thought...I called Rancho and they told me that isn't so...lol I'm still doubtful. Looking for more insight into this.
 
Shocks absorb shock, nothing else, aside from limiting travel.
Depress them or extend them they retain that position until drawn to the next.

Rancho 5000's are OK.
 

Only a Gas shock will push back out since its charged with pressure.
