Rancho Custom Colored Shock Boots
Colored shock boots can coordinate a suspension’s appearance while covering the exposed rod area. Choose by both color and dimensions: the options for this application range from nine-inch boots to a longer twelve-inch red version for applications needing additional coverage.
Short Rancho color choices
Rancho RS1927 is the red 9.5-inch boot, RS1950 the blue 9.5-inch boot, and RS1952 the black 9.5-inch boot. These provide a clear starting point when coordinating visible suspension components. Color does not establish compatibility, so compare the boot’s dimensions and attachment arrangement with the shock.
The longer red boot
Rancho RS1937 is the twelve-inch red option. Its extra length can be relevant to longer-shock applications, including some lifted trucks, but a lift does not automatically make it the correct choice. Consider how the boot fits through the shock’s operating range rather than selecting solely by advertised vehicle height.
Nine-inch alternatives and broader colors
SA1997 identifies a black nine-inch boot and SA1998 a red nine-inch boot; these are Monroe Shock-Mate alternatives within the selection. Pink, orange, and green are also color possibilities for custom styling, but their availability and dimensions must be checked individually rather than inferred from the listed Rancho numbers.
Installation and clearance
The flexible rubber boots are designed to expand during installation, and the options include a zip tie for securing the boot to the shock body. Some installations may need a rubber-compatible lubricant. Confirm that the boot fits without pulling tight, interfering with nearby parts, or being crushed through normal suspension movement.
