That made my brain hurt. I'm having trouble understanding how it wouldn't give you extra height. That's like saying it wouldn't give you extra height on a stock truck.

Just doesn't make sense. If the quick lifts are the same size as a stock strut plus a spacer then it should give you more lift.

I just called Rancho and they said that you cant use the quick lift with a space its not meant for it, only for a stock strut. But I was reading on another post that someone did and it worked out, because im debating wether to just do it and see what happens

No I didn't ask about them I was just asking about the quick lift with a 2.5" level so it can be a 4" front they said it's not meant for it. But saw a post on here someone did it so im still debating on it what do you think KngRanch4Life? or anyone else

Personal Opinion..... If a 3" level puts a strain on your upper balljoint what do you think a 4" setup would do? For your need you'd be better off with the 5100's.. The guys that are stacking level kits on top have a full suspension lift which gives us more leeway...

In my case, I have a suspension lift(Rancho).. I also have the Rancho 9000's.. I can stack a level on top and have 6 inches(or more) of lift... But like the OP I was thinking that the quicklift would give me extra lift without a spacer... For me to get 6+ inches with quicklift, I can add a level to it..
