Rancho discontinuing 17505 Struts!

[bugnout]

and the 17004 shocks. I just got off the phone with AllJ's and they can't get them anymore. They can still get the OME parts.

 

[Diggerfreek]

Thats not good..........

 

[Diggerfreek]

That means whatever is left over will be extra cheap though.

probably not... they will jack the price since you can't get them any more

yep, called AllJ and they were firm on their prices and were confident that the would be able to clear their inventory at the prices they originally sell them at

Wish I had the $ to buy an extra set....or 20.

 

[scottg]

whats a good replacement then?

i just looked up prices today at work, it would cost me in shipping the same amount I'm saving

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Boy am I glad ours a still brand new!
I should be good for a few years.
I'm sure there will be a replacement from Rancho.

Right Ryan - my understanding was that they are killing off the RSX line - not just specific applications. I'd think they'd have a new line coming out that we'd use.

Although I know that these are not available for the KJ...
This system would be cool to have.

RSX17505 & RSX17004 DISCONTINUED BY RANCHO
Hi Everyone! I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that Rancho has decided to discontinue manufacturing the Rancho RSX17505 front strut and the RSX17004 rear shock that is used in many KJ Liberty lift applications. Maybe if they receive a bunch of emails/phone calls about their decision to discontinue these parts they will reconsider. ??

In any event, I also wanted to inform everyone that due to the discontinued Rancho struts and Rancho shocks, the Frankenlift I and Frankenlift I Premium suspension lift kits for the KJ GAS Liberty and the Frankenlift I for the KJ CRD Liberty will also be discontinued. The Frankenlift II and Frankenlift II Premium will continue to be available for GAS KJs and the Frankenlift II Premium will continue to be abailable for CRD KJs. See the Frankenlift web pages for full details on the Frankenlift kits:

CRD KJ Frankenlift kit: http://www.boulderbars.com/frankenlift_crd.htm

PS: All J Products does have 6 RSX17004 shocks left in stock, so if you are considering these shocks, you should buy them before they're gone.

Wonder what the next shock up the line is and what they go for? Will have to do some research. Don't want to step down , need either the same design or next step up

Rsx shocks are priced far below xls but what if I blow one of the shocks and have to replace all 4 cause they don't sell em anymore. I'd like to see couple of more people runnin xls before I lay down the cash thou!

X2. A reduction in supply will usually lead to an increase in prices unless the reduction in supply accompanies and equal or greater reduction in demand.

And ah....so much for lifetime warranty?

Technically, there is no such thing. There is, however, such a thing as a "warranty for the foreseeable future".

This is the email I sent to Rancho/Tenneco regarding the discontinuation of the RSX line of Struts/Shocks.

Good day,
I understand that Rancho Suspension has discontinued the RSX17505 & RSX17004 along with the rest of the RSX line of shocks.
My question is, These shock absorbers are offered from Rancho with a "Lifetime Warranty" How does this effect the warranty for customers who are currently using RSX Shocks? Would will you offer a different model of Rancho shock absorber?
(RS999764 front strut and the RS999248 rear shock with "My Ride"?)
And what would happen if only one shock absorber needs to be replaced under warranty, will you be replacing them with a matched pair?
The reason I ask this, is because I am a member of a Jeep club/forum and the RSX RSX17505 & RSX17004 are the most popular choice for our vehicle.

I look foreward to your reply.

Thank you
Ryan Heibloem

Just received my RSX17505 & RSX17004's yesterday. Kinda like foresight. They should last till something new and improved comes out. Curious and following to hear about the "Lifetime Warranty". Thanks for writing them Ryan
