I think am going to bite the bullet and get those Ranchos, the ones your talking about is it the quick lift ones all complete and ready to install?
Yes, they call them "QuickLift Loaded", all you need to do is remove the OEM struts, bolt them in, and realignment. I got a full 2.5" lift on both a 3.5, and on my 5.0.

thanks for the info, but how about the UCA or the angle of the CV joint would they be okay?
Want some opinions please! I placed my Bilstein 5100 kit order with Stage 3 Motorsports on February 7th. I received the rear shocks roughly a week later. Unfortunately the Front 5100s are on backorder and I was originally told to expect delivery mid March. However, It is the first week of April and I still don't have a tracking number. In fact Bilstein told me they aren't getting a shipment in until the end of May and Stage 3 told me they are not expecting any until the end of April. I have already waited 2 months -_- but am getting anxious. My new wheel and tires are sitting in the garage waiting for the level kit to be complete. My question is... Would you guys continue to wait OR look for an alternative? I would prefer something in the same price range but if I HAD to I may spend just a tad more.
Thanks!
why don't you just get the Eibach shocks ? They are just as good from everything I have read. Plus they look better.

I haven't had any trouble with mine, I wouldn't want to go any higher without some aftermarket UCA's though, 2.5" on a 13th gen is about it. I don't do any hardcore 4wheeling, so I'm comfortable with it, and really not concerned with the CV's either.
I think it was Stage3 that had a video on these, they were saying these are good for street and lighter offroading, fit the bill for me.

Man you make it harder for me not to go that route haha. But from what I've read they aren't as good. That Eibach is more versed for cars. They are more expensive to my knowledge as well.

The 5100's seem to be in that state perpetually, but when I got mine, I bought them locally at the local 4x4 shop and they had them in stock on their shelves.... so that solved the issue.
I went with the 2” leveling kit on my 2015 FX4. It has a tow package on the truck already so no need for blocks in the back because of the stock rake. The 2” left my truck perfectly leveled. I put 275/65/20 which is 34” in diameter. In hindsight, I should’ve gone 285/65/20.

You need to follow-up with customer support again, and frequently. I ordered the same kit from Stage 3 on Feb 17. Got the rears about a week later too, and the fronts in mid March (sorry if I got yours 🙂. They may be shipping using the "squeaky wheel" algorithm.
Canceling your order will raise the price of the rears if you keep them, so definitely return the entire kit if you go that route.

Ok just ordered the Ranchos Quick lift kit, how about the rears did you have the same brand or what did you have in your setup?

Man Are you serious?! That is really frustrating! I've called and emailed them numerous times and it's always the same response. Consider yourself lucky I guess! I called about 6 other places and they all told me they don't have any and aren't expecting any until end of month or end of May. I went ahead and ordered a 2 inch Moto fab spacer kit so I can install that and get the wheels on for now. I’m just tired of waiting I don’t mind swapping to the Bilsteins when they come in whenever they do.
