Lowered 4wd Rancho part #

I want to go with some Rancho 9000XL on my 03' and i am having a hard time coming up with a part #. The truck is lowered maybe 4"-5" in the rear. I would assume i would want a different shock in the rear than stock. I tried calling Rancho direct and the sales rep doesnt have fancy cross referencing software to get me different length shocks with the same eyelet dimentions.
The front i figure i can go with stock because its only maybe 2"-3" lower with the 1/2 ton gasser springs.
The front is stock, PN. is a RS999221 23.25" extended X 15.00" collapsed.

The rear dimentions i want (roughly) are 23.87" ext. X 14.87" with a 9/16th eyelet.

So for those of you who has lowered a 3rd gen 4X4 what shocks (part number) do you run?

Thanks!

Summit can't help you out on that Joel?

When I lowered mine they knew exactly what ones I needed.

You would think.. I called their tech line and i stopped in. They have some smart guys, it just depends on how many 17yr olds they deal with before you getting ricer parts and chrome kits for their 85 S-10's.

Not really, i guess i was just looking to save $180 between the two brands.
QA1's TS901 and 902's $155.00 a piece
Rancho's $110.00 a piece
(Summit Racing prices)

I don't know if it matters but as far as I know the Rancho's aren't rebuildable. You'll obviously save $180 on the total purchase running Ranchos. But depending on the Ranchos lifespan, it may be cheaper in the long run to go with the QA1s. Plus the QA1s are shiny, that adds at least 50hp from all 4 corners.

I went with the QA1's.. The ability to rebuild is a bonus. I came across a suspension shop that specializes in custom shocks and they made me a deal i couldn't refuse.
Thanks CRfromHell also

So putting the rear TS901 shocks on they are not fitting. The drivers side rear just barely fit and the pass side is about 1/2" short.
They are 23.870 ext. and 14.870 collapsed. There is only four leaf springs left, no spacers. It sets level with the 1/2 ton front 4X4 springs.
Any suggestions?

I talked to QA1 earlier and got some different ones coming. Those won't work in my application. Thanks though.

Do you have a link to the tower delete? I cannot seem to find it.
