    Indeed this info is fantastic!! I'd love to try this now but seeing as i'll be parking the car in a month or so I'll save it for spring...also it would hurt the pocket book too much right now.

    a new beginning indeed! although, simon said the van rancho's he used would raise a car like 2 inches up.. any plans towards that issue?

    well the ranchos he used were specific to his van I believe, so I'm hoping the ranger ones could be different....hoping is the key word here

    My rear shocks won't work in a car, the body is too short, the struts will lift a car. Rancho doesn't make 9 speed struts.

    I was commenting on you saying the shocks would raise a car, , I think your getting your wording confused or your typing to fast before you think,

    Perhaps that's because "I" never said they would raise the car!

    Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!

    haha, well i didn't mention any rancho struts here either, did i
    anyways, it's 9:15 am here so i guess you guys better go get some sleep

    so in conclusion, anyone should try out the mentioned impreza strut in the front and ranger shock in the back combo
    btw, are there any ranger adjustable shocks for the rear?

    .... dude.. lol telling others to go to sleep?

    The whole rancho thing came up because they are available for the ranger app which MIGHT mean they will work in the back of a car, and they are adjustable.

    lol just messing around.
    about those rancho RS9000X shocks, where would you find those? i've tried summit and tirerack so far, but no luck. the only ones i seem to find are for raised F-150's or some GMC trucks.

    If anyone need this info:
    Compressed length: 16.125"
    Extended length: 26"
    Travel: 9.875"

    The Rancho catalog gives the dimensions for all of their shocks. Interestingly enough, those shocks are also listed to fit the F-450 and F-550 Super Duty. Must be a stout shock!
    Summit Racing sells them.

    Re: KYB AGX adjustable strut install on TD!!!!

    btw i put some srt-4 springs/struts on the front of my dynasty using the same method of milling the shaft as on the impreza struts, cept i used a bench grinder for max [getting it done instead of not doing it because you can't do it "the right way" yourself] action!

    This is what i ended up with for ride height. Very happy. srt-4 drop springs from here would be bitchin!
