i have a 78 f150. I was wondering if i have a 3" lift on it now and go to a 6" lift. Will i have to change shocks? I looked up some shocks and some say 3.5-6" lift.

 

I think you might. It would be close to topping out if it dosn't.

 

Well it would actually depend on what shocks are on it know wouldn't it? Yes some shocks say that range on lift but look up the part number for the shocks you have now and see what range they are supposed to work in. Personally I feel anytime you change ride height by more than an inch or 2 you probably should change the shocks.

 

It depends which shock are on it right now.
You never mentioned them.

also the Title of the thread should be "Shock Absorber Application"?


Topic in the title please

 

see the boy that had it b4 me put the lift on it. it has 3" blocks and 4" coils. I'd have to measure the shocks to see how high they are. About how tall are 6" shocks?? and how do i change the thread title??

 

You can only edit for 60 minutes after your originally post the question, but I could modify it for you if you want just send me a PM with what you think it should be.

 

10 minutes for editing thread title.....MB will take care of it.

Most shocks I have seen only have a max 5" travel.
is there any identifiable markings,labels,logos,colour of the shocks already on it ?

 

well they have red boots like rancho but i dont think they are rancho....i mean they are white and red BUT they dont have a rancho sticker or say rancho!

 

The stickers are just that stickers and usually aren't on the shocks when new anyway. If they are rancho the name and part number will be engraved in the shock body towards the bottom. no matter who's shocks they are almost all engrave a part number into the shock body somewhere, you might have to look on the backside to find it.

 

i just got these for 10 bux. i know they need some tlc but i think they will work i was told that they come off a truck with what looked to be 4" susp lift. The rs5000's are for 4-6" lifts correct?? but this afternooon i'll get the numbers off my shocks and post em up...they will probably be up for sale anyway!

what other shocks are white? i guess u can put a yellow boot on them, and paint em white. But i looked through rancho, superlift, and skyjacker. So i dunno. But i have some rancho rs5000 in the mail coming my way!

 

Gabriels & Rancho's I think.

 

i still cant find them...lol
