I think they were longer when I compared mine. Certainly a lot heavier.

Longer no. Heavier and thicker. Yes

Exactly, like mgny said they lift the same way as the Bilsteins. Like I said though you'll have the same CV angles across the board unless you're using a full lift (with a crossmember drop bracket).

To answer both, you could do QL and 7000s in rear but no rebate, to get the full $120 you need to do QL and 9000s in rear. You get $100 for just doing 9000s all all 4 corners. $75 for 7000s on all 4 corners and $50 for 5000s on all 4 corners. You can get up to $400 back if you spend over $1500 on a lift kit and shocks. All of this is only eligible for a couple more days until the 30th of this month so if you are seriously thinking of doing it, PULL THE TRIGGER NOW to save some bank.

just installed Rancho quicklift and 9000's in the rear Thursday. Very easy to install the quicklifts up front. Very happy with the ride so far and did give me the full 2 inches up front.

Very happy with the off-road performance of the QuickLifts. Suspension was nice and firm but didn't beat me while cross-rutting, climbing the dune accesses, or going over low-tide whoops with a substantial load in the rear. I guess time will tell how well they hold up but so far as my initial impression goes once you get them dialed into your preference they're a great upgrade from either stock or spacer leveling. I have about $750 in the entire set including install, alignment, QL front and 9000XL rears with $120 coming back via mail-in-rebate.

Lots of the Bilsteins in stock...as in 100! We may be running a pretty good sale on the Bilstein Coilovers as a Welcome back to the Bilstein Coilovers, also our Bilstein Ultimate kits will be on sale too.

So how many miles have you all gotten on your ranchos and are you still liking them. My tires should be wore down and gone by spring and Im going to maybe get the Rancho QL with bigger tires.
