Talking Getting rig ready for Tellico - NEED SHOCK SIZE INFO, HELP!!!

Getting my rig ready for Tellico and I need to figure out what size shocks I need to order. The 4 for 3 sale at rancho ends this weekend and I will not have my BJ spacers and FJ80 coils for a week. I need to know what RS9000x rancho shocks people are using for this setup (BJ spacer and FJ80 coils).

I was thinking:

Front: RS9272
Compressed: 10.25
Extended: 14.5
Travel: 4.25

Rear: RS9251
Compressed: 16.125
Extended: 27
Travel: 10.875

The guy I’m buying them from said the RS9251 have a 9/16" hole where I need a 3/4" hole. Could I just drill the hole bigger? He said the RS9272 would not work (he did not say why) he recommended the 92213, Compressed: 12" - Extended: 18.125". I'm thinking those will limit up travel. Don't tell me to measure becuase I can't I don’t have my coils or spacers and the sale ends Saturday. I have to have these shocks order by Friday night (sale ends Saturday).

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have this setup post your sizes.

What size shocks are you running now? How much travel are you gaining by going to the coils? Or lift?

From my understanding I should gain around 3-3.5" in the rear over stock saggin and 1.5" in the from plus I'll have to crank the t-bars a little. I have a stock 4Runner right now with stock shocks.

Greg,

I would go with what you originally planned

"Front: RS9272
Compressed: 10.25
Extended: 14.5
Travel: 4.25

Rear: RS9251
Compressed: 16.125
Extended: 27
Travel: 10.875"

The rear may be a little big, but for the front, I think your spot on.
