Rancho Part Number

WantaGT · Feb 4, 2007

I was looking for the much loved rancho rear shocks for my street/strip 67 mustang and was looking for the part number. In the thread How to Drag Race Your Classic it gave the part number RAN-RS99159. When I went to Summit Racing it listed these as front shocks for a Land Rover, is this right? If not can you give me the number. Thanks!

is there any I can use on my front?

dennis112 · Feb 4, 2007

I messed up--GAstocker had the correct part # in his link-RS99204. They are shocks for a NISSAN TRUCK that was never imported to the states, but work great on a drag Mustang. I also got mine from Summit.

I believe that there are Ranchos for the front, but they are not the best option. It is better to purchase some cheap, adjustable 90/10 shocks, such the ones sold under the Summit brand name.

can these be quickly adjusted for a street driven car?

The Ranchos on the rear are easy, just turn the little red knob. 9 actual notch settings, with CCW is being the lightest, CW the firmest. According to Rancho, you can even use the area between the notches too. Here is a Rancho mounted on the rear of my stang showing the knob:

As far as the front shocks, no, not really. They have to be fully compressed and turned in order to change the settings. It is easiest when the shock is fully removed.

hmm, what are some options for a street/strip car then. I don't want tool around with 90/10s all of the time lol

ga289stocker · Feb 4, 2007

Well I know it's probably not the best thing to do but I have the CE 90/10's in the front of mine and just left them in there on the softest setting. It seems to do fine on the road. I don't drive crazy or anything on the street, nice slow stops,don't take curves fast, but at the track they really help to transfer the weight as they release quick...

you could just use some regular old monroe shocks up front, not the gas shocks. won't be quite as good as 90/10's on the track but better on the street.

could i get those summits and just set them at the lower settings for a little help at the strip and not as much sacrifice on the street?

Yes, you could set them up a little stiffer and will probably be happy. I would think that the stiffest setting would be close to stock.

If nothing else, with a little time, you could try all 3 options to see which one best suits your driving tastes.

cool, thanks guys. you gotta love the 26 dollar price tag LOL

BullittStangV8 · Feb 6, 2007

Yep. I bought mine for $26 too...They arnt really that hard to adjust...once they are out of the car.

BullittStangV8 · Feb 6, 2007

btw...as nice as the $26 dollar summit shocks are....the $89 per shock price of the ranchos is not.

WantaGT · Feb 7, 2007

yeah, well I guess I just need to suck it up LOL, one last question. For a street/strip car would you guys recommend putting six cylinder springs in the front or is the summit shocks/stock springs good enough?

dennis112 · Feb 7, 2007

Depends on the car. At first I installed new std 289 springs and the front end seemed stiff even after adding the 90/10's. I just ordered the 6 cyl springs for this summer's fun. Of course I am probably carrying more weight up front than you are due to the 393/large 4 row copper radiator/scatter shield/etc.

If your springs are the old originals, they may work just fine.

BullittStangV8 · Feb 7, 2007

I'm going to have to suck it up to...No point in having a strong motor and a suspension that cant hook up. Ill be going with 6 cylinder springs up front, as with my 8's, it's still a little too stiff/high.

WantaGT · Feb 7, 2007

cool, thanks guys. what is a good reputable vendor to go with for the springs. I haven't purchased stock parts in a long time LOL
