Any tips installs Rancho Quick lifts ???
Hey everyone - I have a 2007 Screw 4X2 with 2"/AS spacer and stock front end. I put my 9000xl's on over the weekend and they are awesome.
Now it's time for the loaded Quicklifts. I have the tools needed, but are there any tricks or helpful advice? Thanks

When I did mine it took a couple hours. I just took off the brake caliper and rotor, popped the upper ballpoint out, took the half shaft out of the knuckle, and removed the strut.
Getting the lower end of the strut into the lower control arm was tricky with the half shaft just hung out of the way, but with some wiggling and cussing it went in.
I spent about 2 hours in the driveway all together for both sides.

Getting it out of the wheel side is simple - just remove the axle nut and slide it out of the wheel bearing. I didn't want to do any more work than I had to, so I didn't remove it from the differential side.

When I installed mine I just undid the bolts on top of the shock and the bolt of the bottom pulled the old one out and put the new one in.
Now I did have to use the tire iron to pry the lower arm down and hit it with a block of wood and hammer. I thought that was easier then undoing the upper control arm
