: Front shocks , need help , please!
TPAKTOP 01-26-2009, 01:24 PM Guys please help me out. I need to change my front shocks on my 2005 armada and I've been looking around and have a few in mind.
DO U KNOW IF RANCHO RS9000 WILL FIT MY RIDE ?
I NEVER HAD A LIFT OR DROP OR ANYTHING. JUST FRONT SHOCKS AND THAT'S IT.
THE REASON IM ASKING IS BECAUSE IM LOW ON FUNDS THESE DAYS AND DONT WANT TO GO 200+ ON 2 SHOCKS.
9balllrook 01-26-2009, 01:40 PM The RS9000 are the stock shocks on an Se off road, so I think they will fit fine.
FWIW, the Bilstein are only $179:

Thank u !

You don't owe me any promises, I'm just trying to help you get the best for your $$$, that's all. I honestly don't know or I would've commented. I think they will fit but I'm not positive, Norcal05SE will likely know for sure.
9balllrook 01-26-2009, 02:57 PM LE or SE shouldn't make a difference, there is only a few bolt ons (skid plates, emblems, tire size, etc) thaty make the difference.

THANK U GUYS ! GOOD LOOKING OUT ! AS LONG AS ITS BETTER THOSE P.O.S I HAVE NOW , IM HAPPY :)
I WENT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME 125USD FOR LABOR PLUS 60USD FOR ALLIGNMENT. IS THAT GOOD 2 GO ?
9balllrook 01-26-2009, 04:27 PM seems most places want $50-$60 a piece for shocks, can't remember off the top of my head what I paid for an alignment.
Alignment usually runs $60-$90.
TPAKTOP 01-26-2009, 06:09 PM Ok Guys It Says That Its Rs9000 Rancho Shocks And They're 5 Way Adjustable. Plus The Part Number Is Rs9014....will These Fit ? Please Help Me Out Fellas, I Wont Forget It U Got My Word.
TPAKTOP 01-26-2009, 06:14 PM THESE ARE DIMENSIONS : Extended: 25.21 Collapsed: 14.67.
uteman1011 01-26-2009, 06:17 PM Don't think you need alignment unless it's out?? Replacing the shocks is only un-bolt and then bolt back in place.
TPAKTOP 01-26-2009, 06:25 PM i GOT YA UTEMAN. JUST PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THESE PARTICULAR RS9000 PN.9014 WILL FIT ON ARMADA ? DIMENSIONS ARE Extended: 25.21 Collapsed: 14.67.
I GOT THEM CHEAPER ON EBAY , BUT IT SAYS THAT THE DUDE BOUGHT THEM FOR FORD F150 1979 YEAR MODEL. SO I DONT KNOW IF ITS WORTH TO SPEND THE MONEY AT ALL.
TPAKTOP 01-26-2009, 07:21 PM uTHEMAN, I THINK U WERE WRONG ABOUT THOSE RS9000 PN9014. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WHERE IT SAYS THAT THOSE WILL FIT ARMADA, TITAN OR QX56.
