Howdy y'all. So as the title states, I'm looking for advice on what coilovers. I was fully committed to going with Boss as Rancho hadn't released anything when I initially started looking. So I grabbed Boss rear shocks. Well, now comes the time to do my coilovers, and Rancho has released the Quicklifts for my year (2016). So my question is, is Boss worth the expense over the Ranchos? The price difference from Stage 3 is around $500...
Please no comments saying "you get what you pay for". I'd rather hear personal experience, or data showing where one is better than the other. Rancho served me well in the past, but I'd like everything to match. Just trying to justify if it's worth the extra $500 if it's purely just for it to all match.
Love my fox 2.5 remote reservoirs haven't had the other but haven't heard anything bad about the boss setup. C7Jake, those the factory cv angles on level surface?
I installed the rancho quick lifts knowing they had mixed reviews. They've only been on my truck for a month and I really like them. The leveled my 2016 supercab out with 2.25 inches in the front. The other day i took i took it to some forest service roads around Linville Gorge in WNC that were fairly rough in places. I adjusted them to a softer setting and could tell a complete difference in the ride. The ranchos are on the cheaper side and if they start to disappoint you can always upgrade later.

I had them on my '07 and loved them. Ended up pulling the trigger on them today. Drivers side is on backorder until the end of March. :/ Figure if I can just save the $500 difference and put it towards my new deer rifle, paint to match grill and mirror caps, paint some interior pieces, replace my windshield for the second time in 6 months, or just save it.

I think you'll be happy with them. What happened to your windshield??

Roads down here suck. First week I had it a silverado kicked up a small rock and cracked the windshield. Then Thursday some vehicle kicked up a rock and chipped the windshield, and it's beginning to crack. I'm going to look into getting it repaired, but the windshield is warped (cheap glass, never got around to complaining) so not sure if I want to fix or just replace.
I had the Rancho QuickLift for around 6k on my 2016. All I can say they're way to bouncy here in DFW highways. About the only good thing is they do come alive off road. Once I installed the Fox 2.0 my daily driving has been nothing but amazing compared to the stock and Ranchos.
