I chose Rancho's due to friends advice after experiences with them and having driven in another car with them installed. (before and after installation).

The RS5116 are extended for a 2" suspension lift
The RS5214 are the same as standard, but due to IFS you don't need extended shocks in the front.

I'm very happy with the ride, although if I could have afforded the extra money, I'd have bought the 9000 series, instead of the 5000, for the adjust-ability (soft on road, hard off road) from memory they were $80 - $100 more each..

I bought them from 4wdusa (http://www.4wdusa.com.au)

Michael

Cheers turnturn.

Nick - yes it is ready to go, was supposed to go out tomorrow with a few guys from work but most of them cancelled so we've postponed.
How much are you chasing for your sedan? I'll ask around for you.

Michael

Asking around 5k dude, its just done the timing chain/tensioner and an seal kit [leaks oil everywhere]. Still destroys most cars as it is, drives fine and all, just cbf pulling it apart to do the timing chain. Worst case scenario im going to strip it for parts.

If ur going on easy trails let me know dude, i just picked it up today. Jackaroo 3.2 5spd

awesome build you've got there mate...
keen to rebuild my motor soon too, did you replace the chrome liners or did you just replace rings and head gasket? would be keen to hear some more info on what you did with the rebuild ,etc.

love the bonnet struts, might have a crack at that soon.
