Here are the Rancho 0" shock specs

[HummBebe]

OK, I want your honest opinion on this...

I found these aftermarket extenders online one day....



So I took a photo of them to my local 4 wheel drive auto parts store....

They had never seen them before, but were sure if I could locate them...and I found the right size, they would be perfect.

No luck...these are 2" extenders, what I needed, but too small, 3/8-24.

I asked the guy at the store, do you think I could make these with these...



these measure the same as the shock pin, 1/2-13.

Here is how I think it can work...

This is my broken-in-half front shock



I removed the nut from the top...



and screwed the threaded rod into the rod coupling nut then screwed it onto the top of the shock pin




All I need to do now is to cut the threaded rod so that it fits properly, re-install the shock.(Not the broken one shared here)

The rod coupling nut is 1 3/4", 1/2" - 13, the threaded rod is 1/2" - 13.

So....thoughts? Shall I proceed with the installation?

This only applies to the front shocks. Rear is a whole different story.

Won't be strong enough Bebe. Find the H3 ones made for the other end of the shock. I have seen them out there. If you are busting shocks, you will won't this setup to be strong to support wheeling.

They will not sell them separately.

So the extension you are thinking of is for the clevis end of the shock?

[tomp]

Yes, that's the one. I have seen them for the H3, but don't know if they will sell them seperately or not.

[Demo]

The guys that did the Truxx front lift have those extenders, how about one of those guys post a pic of the extender and we can figure something out, nice try bebe.
