I ordered the front and rear Rancho's 9000X shocks. But the rear are on back ordered? Must be alot of 2wd Excursions huh? :The Rancho RS9000X part number are RS99272
Tools needed:
Jack,
15mm socket or deep socket,
Also help full are the Box/End Ratching Wrench. Also called Gear Wrench.
18 mm socket or deep socket comes very helpfull. Your local auto store also sells them individual for about 3-4 dollars each.
19mm deep socket
Wrachet
Something to stand on you you can lean over into the engine compartment.
flathead screw driver
19mm socket or deep socket comes very helpfull.
3/4th Open Box/End wrench
breaker bar or a pipe.
Grease
Adjustable torqure wrench
Drill with a wire brush on the end or a wire brush with a handle.

Adding the stroker booth is optional. I chose to add the red booth. But you must pull the booth down all the way down up to the 2 rigges where the holes are so it wont collect water. Each booth has 2 pairs of holes. have the faceing front and back so when you park on a hill or downhill (incline or what ever) they can drain. It also will be good to make a hole on both side of the booth on the first riged.

First thing to do is remove the factory paint from the shocks threads. You can use a drill with a wire brush attach to the drill. Or can also use a wire brush with a handle for the manual folks.

Open the hood and remove the top bolt from the shock tower. You will need a 15 mm deep socket and a wrench.

The Passenger side is a little harder.

To keep the factory shock stroker from turning, use a 18 mm open box/end wrench.
If you are doing this alone you can have the open box/end wrench lean against the shock tower to keep it from turning.

A 18 mm socket with wratchet to remove the lower shock bolt.

A breaker bar or a pipe can be helpfull to remove the lower shock bolt. Carefull to not be near the area where dirt and crud can fall on your eyes.

The the OEM shocks wont come lose as you removed the bolt a jack can be place under the I-beam. Jack up the I-beam untill the tire is almost off the ground. Now you can wiggle the OEM shock out.

Remove the upper shock bushing that is left on the shock tower with flat head screw driver. Poke it, tear it. do anything to remove it

Now its time to install the Ranchos bushings

First add grease to all the bushings.

Put on the ring and bushing. Install the top of the Rancho shock in first then install the bottom.

Use a flat head screw driver to raise to shock stroker from the bottom nut.

Now tighted the bottom nut to 60 lb. Use a 18 mm socket with a ratched. Then use a Torque wrench to tighted to 60 pounds.

The Install the bushing, ring and nut. use a deep socket 19 mm with a ratched.

use a 3/4th Open Box/End wrench to hold the shock stroker from turning

Let the Open Box/End Wrench slide into the coil spring so it will have something to hold on too.

Use some extension so you have enough room for the torque wrench. Torque it to 30 pounds.

The right is the same for removal and installing. But its a little more difficult. Its harder to get any tools in there. Even with a crazy head socket.. I latter found this intresting opening on the right side looks a little wider.

So I sliped in a Open Box/End wrench 19 mm and use a open end wrench or 3/4th to hold the shock stroker from turning. Since I couldn't torque it properly I cound the left side threads and it came out 9 threads count. So I threaded the bolt to 9 or so threads. That should be about 30 pounds or so.

here is another shot of how I did it.

Now you are ready to hit the road. And I tell you what.... WOW what a differance. I can't wait till my rears get here. Check every so often for tightness since grease has gotten on the threads.
