Rancho shocks are crap. Made by Monroe. The sensatrac is a better shock so what does that tell you?

This setup= about 3/4 inch lift shock. Aka perfect for leveling kits. I have a bit more articulation now, and hopefully I won't blow any more shocks at full droop.

That explains why you had two blown shocks. at least its a easy fix.
