I have 4 RS5000's they came off a stock height chevy, don't know if they will work for you, but if they will you can have them for 80$ for all four.

I bought my Rancho 5000's on sale at CDN Tire a few years back, they were on for $50 each. I think even their regular price is decent.

After reading this wonderful and informative write-up I went and ordered a pair of the 8403 (13.5 travel) for the front of my Toyota. Not a bad deal. I ordered direct from Doetsch and they were $47 US each. You would need extended shock towers to run these ones. (Ford towers are ~$20 each)

I'm running RS5000's too just on the back until I get the extra cash to put them on the front too, their not very expensive, mine were like 47 each, and I like them, alot smoother, well in the back anyways

Lordco all depends who you know, the prices are never the same, I get one price on the phone, (which seems to be the only way to get prompt service:rolleyes: )then I get a different price when I show up there!

If your quoted cheaper on the phone, tell them, they will adjust. That just goes to show how hokey their system is.:rolleyes:
