Rancho shocks are good. You'll have to do some measuring for collapsed length and extended length. And have you ride height some were about in the middle. From mounting point to mounting point will be your ride height length.

What would be a good (safe) way on measuring the compressed measurement?

Drive your Jeep into a ditch so opposite corners are compressed like this:
Then you have 2 shocks that are at maximum extension and 2 that are at maximum compression. Then with that information go to this site and look for a Rancho part number that will work for the front and another set for the rear.

Has anyone using the new Rancho7000 or know someone who is? Any feedback? I think they just came out in June of this year, but they sound intriguing.
