Update: Decided it was too much flash with the aftermarket setup, but found someone willing to trade Raptor takeoffs with Raptor stock size 315/70R17 ko2s. No rub and look great!

Still happy with the ride quality? I’m on the fence between RC and the bilsteins 5100 since I wouldn’t have to swap the front spring.

Ride is still great. Truck is at 31k miles, so the coilovers have almost 20k. No issues, problems, or anything else.

Swapping the spring was the biggest reason I went with the RC’s. I wanted an easy swap without too much fuss. And so far these have accomplished that.

I’m glad to hear this- if I ever need to change from my Bilstein 5100s, this is likely the route I’ll go. I did the whole spring thing with the 5100s and I don’t care if I ever repeat that job again. There just weren’t hardly any reviews on the RC at the time.

Looking hard at these RC Loaded struts as well. My truck came with spacers when i purchased a year ago. Now she has 115k mi and i want to get away from the spacers. Have any of you taken them off road, and how do they do? Better than stock? Im only talking dirt roads and such, nothing serious.

What do you think of the spacers? Does the ride suck or no? I've been considering doing spacers temporarily until my front struts bite the dust and then splurging on the RC leveling struts and rear shocks at the same time. Thanks in advance.

Default RC or rancho

I was going to buy some rancho quick struts and they've been out of stock everywhere for the last few months I considered RC before and now with these positive reviews in mileage reviews I think I'll go with these now I'll wait for a Black Friday Cyber Monday sale if anyone has a link that would save some money for everyone that would be great I'll search and if I find one I'll definitely post it up but I'm definitely excited to get some RC front struts

Right at a year and still no complaints from me. Very pleased with the RC equipment.
