Rancho quickLIFT
#21
Same place I got mine from(my4by.com), no complaints! shipped out and arrived in a reasonable time.
#22
My main concern is that they have enough droop to compensate for the extra lift gained by adding a 3" block (1.5" more than stock block) or by the increased height added with my Roadmaster Active Suspension. Is that amount of lift even something to worry about, or does the stock shock have enough length to not be maxed out at the bottom of it's travel?

Looks like about $742 including shipping for both struts, 2 rear shocks, and my ride system controller. I might make the plunge tomorrow. The rear shock description said 0-1" lift, so I think I will be good with those.
#24
I would like the QuickLift Shocks for the front and 7000 or 9000 series shocks for the rear with 2" front and 1" rear lift to keep some factory rake.
I plan to run 305/55/20 tires.

They don't GIVE you lift, just allow for it, at least that's what I'm thinking they mean.

So a 2" lift kit just raises the rear about a half an inch. It should not be any concern for the shocks to have that little extra travel. If you do go to a 3 or 4" lift then I do not believe the 9000XL will work and you would have to get into the pro series I would guess.

The rear blocks on the newer F150s with 4x4 are now 1.5" tall. Some people who have put on a front leveling spacer end up with the front being slightly higher. At that point you can choose an AAL or get a 2" rear block. I have heard of some people using an F350 rear block. I assume the F350 block is actually 2". It all depends on your truck and which size leveling kit you purchase for your desired look. My original point is that a 2" lift will be slightly higher in the rear than stock.
