Question Rancho Quicklift Loaded!!!! Anyone have these and lift their truck

Hey everyone. I have a 2005 King Ranch F150. I have the Rancho quick lift loaded on the front which give enough lift to get 35x12.5 20's. So my question is has anyone added a lift with these? I am very interested in doing a lift just don't which way to go. I love the ride of these shocks. Thanks in advance

If you talking about the blocks on top of Rancho Quicklift.
Do not do it.
The quicklifts are longer and putting the blocks on top will mess with upper control arm angles.
They also may not be able to set the alignment correctly

Not 100% true actually. The rancho quicklift is sipmly a leveling strut and can be used to accompany a lift. However it cant bve doen with a mere spacer opn top, you will need an actual lift kit and I dont mean and RCX kit.

My dealership uses 4Wheelparts. They are a big procomp company. I called them and the guy told me that no lift could be used in conjunction with those shocks. Every lift that I have seen has those leveling blocks on top of the strut. I went to procomp's web site and they sell a full kit with replacement coil over's for the front but its 2700. Not looking to fork out that kind of money for a truck that don't go off road. Thought about a 3" BL. But everyone knocks them. Guess I'm just going to leave it leveled. It looks good just needs a little boost upward.

I have the Rancho 4" lift on my truck which doesn't use the blocks. You have to buy new coil overs. I used the Rancho RS9000's. I put a 1" daystar spacer on top and was actually thinking of changing it to a 2" or 2 1/2" spacer. Just wondering if I switched to the Bilsteins or Fox coil overs would they work and can you get extra lift out of them.

An RCX kit combined with a level over stretches all of the front angles

I thought you meant that the quick lifts couldn't be used with a rcx lift. I know I would never put spacers on top of my rcx lift.
