Really conflicted on what sort of lift to get. Pretty sure I don't want a full 4-6" lift. So that leaves me with the various "leveling" options.

Really like the Rancho 2" Quick Lift for the following reasons (based on reviews I've read on this site):

• new coilovers
• easy installation
• improved ride over stock
• adjustable ride

However, I also like the look of a slightly higher combo, such as Grandpa's Grocery Getter pictured below (3" Procomp Level / 2.5" rear block). However, I realize that's not a great solution for ride quality and longevity.

So that got me thinking... why not do the Rancho 2" Quick Lift with 1" spacers on top of the Rancho coilovers? Wouldn't that get me the 3" look with an improved ride quality over the 3" spacers?

Thoughts???

You really don't want to go higher than 2.5" level on 4x4. Your cv angles will be pretty harsh.
The f150 lifts is a good option tho compared to the leveling spacer.

Technically, you could do this, but as started above, this will put your cv joints at too much angle, causing all sorts of issues, like quickly wearing cv joints, and ball joint wear. Plus, you will reduce shock travel too much as well.

Three most you want to go is 2.5, but there was some discussion on here as AS, etc, pulling their 2.5 level kits off the market for the same reasons.

If you do level, 2" seemed to be the agreed upon safe height, but there are plenty of guys running 2.5" levels with no issues.

I wish I could afford these!

While the 3" coilovers from F150lifts, Icon, King, or whoever will definitely ride better than a spacer kit, they still don't "solve" the problem of extreme CV/ball joint angles. Only a bracket-type lift kit will accomplish this. Premature wear, difficult to align, etc will all come into play, regardless if your truck is a street queen or a real off-roader. The nice thing about the coilovers is you don't have to go a full 3". My suggestion is to keep them at 2.5" or below for optimum performance and minimal added wear on your CV's/ball joints.

I put the rancho quick lifts and the matching rear shocks on my 2010. It lifted as expected. However, I was completely disappointed with the rancho product. Even with the adjustment set at the stiffest it was much softer than my factory equipment. Pulling trailers made it worse. Just hauling my bikes on a trailer would make my truck float as if my shocks were worn completely out.

Took them off and installed factory equipment back on and drove so much better.

I purchased the rancho equipment because in years past I've used it on other 4x4's and had great experiences.

Cv angles and problems that UFLBret speaks about is not something our product has had any issues with. Our test truck is at 20,000 miles with zero problems.
