Rancho 5000 - Rear Shocks for Excursion

Howdy all,

I have read posts back and forth regarding Bilstiens and Rancho shocks. For now I am going to go with Rancho 5000s for my 2000 2WD Excursion.

I was wondering why no one (including Rancho) lists an RS5000 rear shock for the Excursion.

I rarely haul anything major except maybe a box of wieners or my little utility trailer (300-500 pounds max).

I don't really feel like sinking the bux into a set of 9000s. Are the 5000's strong enough for the rear?

Try looking for Monroe shocks. Monroe makes the Rancho shocks. I had Monroe shocks before I lifted my Ex and put on the Rancho 9000xl's

The Monroe's were fine. I love the 9000xl's, but I don't know if the shocks made the difference or the new springs with the lift.

Homer,
I had 4 rancho 5000's on my 05 Ex 4x4....

worked well, just that I wanted the adjustability of the 9000's....
