I have a 1990 RR. I am getting a set of OME Medium springs from a friend. I was wondering what are my options for shocks. I know about OME and bilstein, but what other brands, and what are the differences, ie length and other things to look for. |

Well, since no one responded I thought I would tell you what I know about shocks for RRs.
I have a set of Bilsteins on my 1988 RR. They are too short for my setup (3" lift). They are firmer than the Woodheads but I like them like that.
The Rancho 5000s (which I have on my CJ) are also a bit firm.
I heard that the ideal setup would be with OME shocks and springs.
If you plan on lifting your Rangie and do some offroading (rocks and such) make sure you get a shock long enough. I think I need at least 24" of shock travel (from top of shock to bottom) to accomodate my lift.
Hope this helps and good luck,

This is my setup:
"Notice on this vehicle we have modified the front shock towers to accept the Fox racing shocks, installed a 3 inch shock drop kit, install longer stainless steel brake flex lines due to the increased wheel travel, and longer bump stops to keep everything under control".
