I have an 08 FX4 with the rancho quicklift setup and just ordered a 6 inch lift kit. Can I keep these struts or do I need to go back to factory length, I just thought about these being longer of course after buying the kit.

It's not like they are that much longer when you look at the specs but i thought I would ask after doing some looking and not finding any answers.

Thanks in advance

You should be able to keep them. Might need an add a leaf in the rear to level it out tho.

Thanks for the reply. My truck sits nuts on level now and from what I can tell the six inch makes a truck level with a 6 inch in front and 5 in the rear or so i read online. So with a 1 inch AAL i should be good unless someone knows something different about the rough country 6 and how the truck sits once installed. Also with the AAL whats the difference in a short and long leaf? Any recommendations there?

A short add a leaf will have more arch to it and will give you a slightly rougher ride. A long leaf has a bit less arch and a bit softer ride. For me personally it don't matter as my truck spends so much time off road is a rough ride anyhow. Either way you go it will help eliminate axle wrap add height and somewhere between 700 to 900lb payload capacity.

Go with Zone if you want to stretch a 6" lift. RCX drop brackets arent a full 6" and a level will take a toll on front end components.

I have the zone f10 on my truck I love it about to add a 1.5 leveling kit and a rear add a leaf. Once the truck is paid for going to straight axle it and 4 link the suspension
