H3 2006 H3 Rancho Lift Shocks

[jphh20]

Just bought a Rancho lift and looking to find a better alternative to the Rancho shocks. I am currently running Bilstein 5100's on my torsion bar crank and realize that with the Rancho I need to get the right shocks. I had been happy with the 5100's and I am having a hard time trying to get the right part numbers that will work with the Rancho lift. I tried doing a search and was not able to find what I was looking for. I plan to run the standard Rancho spring under axle for a while until I am ready to make the leap to the SOA mod.

Here is what I have been trying to search for (Lifted Chevy Truck 4")
Front shock p/n ?
Rear shock part # 24-186636 needs bar pin eliminator to work

Any suggestions to try and find the right part #'s? Sorry if these questions have been asked before.

Thanks

Joe

Search "Rancho redux" in the search bar. 06 H3 has a thread about the fronts. Or you can click on his profile and go to the "started threads" tab. There's a few pages to scroll through but you should be able to find it. I used those shocks with my Rancho lift and I'm really liking how they ride.

I'll have some rancho rears for sale after my soa, I haven't had any problems with them but others have.
