So the 5000's (both the stabilizer and shocks)are white. At one time the SS WAS silver....
The 9000's are silver.
The 7000's are brushed and zinced

I'm planning on putting these on my 11 Rubicon with a 2.5" TeraFlex coil lift, what size shock should I pair with that. I see on quadratec they have the option of a shock for 0-2 inch lifts or a shock for 4 inch lifts.

Sure they are Rancho? Ours are made in the USA. The 7000's are stamped Canada as that is where they are charged but assembled a lot in the USA. A lot of other companies get there white bodied/red booted shocks made in Mexico.

FYI

Check out my recent thread.. Bump stops are needed if running these 29,30's on a 2.5 Rough Country BB

Don't want anybody to cause damage to their nice shiny Rancho's just because your BB selection was not thought out...

The dial is very legible and easy to understand. Mine were all at 1 when I received them.

4 in the front , 3 in the back. Thought about dripping it to 2 in the back. I have a pretty light 2dr minus the f/r bumpers, armor, winch and spare 35.

I like em but can't wait for the next step, no more shocks!
