I have a set of AC Coil overs with the Rancho 9000 shocks. I want to install this weekend with a few of my local X buddies however, I can not find a how to, or any pics of the install. I read somewhere there is a how to on dans site, but I think it is down, because the links are broken. (see i did "search") I also, read that its easier if you take the coils to a shop with with a coil compressor to do that part, and then do the rest of the install yourself. The problem is, I need my truck everyday and I dont think that its an option for me to drop it off. Also, I just have the coil and the shock itself. Am I missing somthing else I need to drop it off and have a shop do it? because i dont see it in the kit you can by from AC Here is the coil over and shock that I have. I plan on using a shackle on the back to give me an overall lift of about 2" in the rear and 2.5 in the front to level it out.

And, Do I need to extend the break lines with the new coil overs on the front? Shackles on the back. I dont think its required for the back. but Im seriously questioning the front.
and last question. I think that the rancho 9000 and the 5000 are the same lenght as the stock rear shocks right? would you recomend changing out the rear shock for a Rancho to match the front Rancho?
any info and advice is welcome. Thanks guys!
