Default Rancho Quick Lift

Hello all,

Haven't posted with this crowd in a while.... Anyhow, I am putting the Rancho quick lift loaded springs up front on my truck tomorrow and the matching rear shocks! I already have the AS 2.5" level, but I think this will be a good upgrade. I am also getting some new toyo open country mud terrains put on monday. Hope it looks and rides good. Any how my 2.5" level will be for sale, and my stock struts as well. I know a bunch of 2wd guys out there are always looking for 4wd struts to gain a little lift.

I don't think so. I don't believe that the upper control arm would ever bolt back to the knuckle, and it would be completely level. IMO I would rather have no leveling kit and longer shocks/strut. This lets the spring and shock perform like it is supposed to and doesn't limit the shock by bolting a spacer to it. I've had the leveling kit in for over 60,000 miles. I just think I can get more from the Rancho setup, not to mention the shocks are adjustable to 9 positions

All trucks are different. I'm pretty sure the 2.5" level spacer actually measures 1.625 inches. It gets it's height from changing suspension geometry. Mine is from eBay, it's made by auto springs corp.

I came from a 2.5 inch leveling kit to the rancho quicklifts. I love the ranchos alot better, and were well worth the money. They ride great and i love that they are adjustable. What ones did you get for the rear? The 9000's? I went with the RS5000's. They aren't adjustable like the fronts...but they were only $43 a piece and they ride much better than the factory ones. Wish i bought adjustable ones for the rear too, but i was on a limited budget.
