Rancho Quicklift...Is this right?
Just had my Rancho Quicklift installed a few days ago. The guy I had do the work is a very trusted mechanic in the area and I have been dealing with him for years. I had BFG AT KOs installed at the same time. I have had these tires several times before and these seem to be super loud between 45-55MPH but the noise seems to come and go. At the time we both just contributed the noise to be more intense due to it being such a quiet truck. Today, I completely checked over the suspension to make sure I had no binding/rubbing and found that one of the shocks is installed in a different orientation than the other (one of the ride adjusters is facing out and one is facing in). Could this possible be an issue? Seems like the shocks would work the same either way? I will talk to the mechanic next week but he is on vacation until the end of the week.

Yeah he aligned it after the installed. He said he didn't have any issues. The issue just worries me because it is not constant like a tire roar but sounds like it...seems to subside after I turn for a few minutes then shows back up after stopping and starting again. Just wondering if the springs should have settled more before getting an alignment?

I was pretty sure it wouldn't but thought I would check. I will probably swap it around at some point because it sure is hard to get in there to adjust the ride settings like it is....I can't even tell if both shocks are set the same or not..

The ride is less harsh. I chose them over the Bils due to the fact they are adjustable. And easy to swap as they are a complete unit and don't require messing with a spring compressor. Alittle easier for a shade tree mechanic.

Double check your part #s and make sure you got the correct left and right assemblies and make sure they are on the right side. They both should come preassembled with the adjustment **** to the outside. I'm having a set installed next week. I had a set on my last truck and loved them. No problems whatsoever. Good luck!
