I'm new to this forum and I'm looking to level out my 2005 f150 by putting on the Rancho QuickLift Loaded struts, but I was wondering if anyone has had them before and if they recommend them or not

Seth

I personally wouldn't because if you have to change struts you'll have to order a rancho. A regular leveling spacer retains your factory struts and springs. Meaning cheaper to replace.

Well I have to change out my struts anyway because there going out so I figured I might as well level it out with the quicklift struts

Seth

How many miles you got on your truck that you have to change them out?

I have the quicklift loaded's and I love them. I still have my old coil and shocks sitting in the shed if I ever need them again for some reason, however, if i do get rid of the quicklift's I'd probably buy new coil ones, bc my original ones have 105k on them. But I plan on running to quicklift's for awhile. The quicklifts ride much better than my leveling kit ever did, and levels the truck better. They are also competitively priced with normal shocks.

Is your truck 2 wd? If so get the quick lift for a 4wd and it will actually lift it more. And I love mine they ride wah smoother than stock coils with spacers. And rancho QL is about $200 per side, which is about the same price that a strut would cost u.

My trucks just hit 125,000 miles and it rides so rough with my current shocks and struts. I priced the complete struts for my truck and it's about 100-120 for each strut and I found the quicklift for 160 each so it made more sense to do that since I was wanting to level it out anyway I'm just looking to clear bigger tires

I have the quicklift loaded and the 9000's for the rear just have not had time to get them on yet. Plan to keep the old struts and springs from the front just in case I want/need to go back to that set up. I have heard nothing but good things from everyone that has them.

I've owned 4 x 4s of various makes [Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy] over the past 24 years and have also run just about every lift on the planet.

Rancho is solid as a brand and I've heard nothing but good things about the QuikLift product. Feedback here in other threads seems to be wholly positive as well. You can fit up to a 35" tire, but I'd be cautious before assuming that size, until you check your wheel and tire combo as factoring tire width, wheel offset/backspace, and your truck model (2WD vs. 4WD).

You don't need a spring compressor for the QuikLift struts, so install should be a breeze. I believe you can elect to run 5000s or 9000s in the rear; I had 5000s on a Chevy and they rode nice.

Well thanks guys this really helped me decide on getting them or not. So I'm probably gonna order them here in the next month and I'm on wanting to run 33s so it should look good
