Rancho Suspension?

Anyone out there using Rancho RS99915 (quicklift strut assembly) and RS999319 (rear Shock) I have never used Rancho! My concerns....Quality, reliability, ride quality, ride height etc...

 

I have the Rancho suspension on my 13DCSB, I like the set up, HT is great, ride is adjustable, I run mine between setting 3 and 5, install was easy. I was told that not many Taco owners use the Rancho set up, I have no issues with it, it's been on my truck for a few months and still no issues, after install I removed the front mud flaps and tripped the body ever so slightly so I could fit the new tires on, but it was no big deal really,

Before


after

 

Back when I had my 94 F150 & 93Bronco all the Ford guys were high on Rancho if they couldn't afford Skyjacker. I had a Rancho 4" lift on my Bronco and it seemed fine. Since moving into the Taco world I don't hear many people using them. I guess it's all in what you do. If you're a mild weekend warrior I would see no issues. However for the price, you could do much better. 5100 up front and rear, with Eibach 600# 2.5 lift coils & Dakars would put you about that same price and it is far better quality. With the below set up as long as you keep your lift at or below 2-2.5" inches you shouldn't need new UCA's. If you go full 3" lift up front then you would be looking at about another $400 for UCA's.

 

I had the quicklift loaded coil overs on my tundra and liked them a lot. Never had any problems whatsoever and it rode better than stock.

 

My dad put Rancho shocks/struts on his old '92 Toyota pickup that he handed down to me. Never had an issue with them but this was back in like 2002.

 

Nice...truck looks good...is the front lifted 2.5? What size tires?

 

I'm quite interested in these as well and there isn't a lot of info out there on these. ANy ideas on the spring rate?

 

The suspension kit is a 2.5"kit, the tires are 285/70/17...I would recommend though no bigger than 275's...Rancho does state that 285's fit with this lift, but the alignment has to be at there spec, Meaning Caster and Camber adjustments. the 285's do fit, don't get me wrong and look great, but it is close. If you need pic's I can provide...but all in all, very happy with the set up

 

Thanks for the info gmann...i just bought new yokohama geolanders 265/65...so I will be using those for a while.

 

good choice...if you need any info, hit me up Bro....

 

Resurrecting the dead...OP did you ever pull the trigger on a lift? Post pics & what you got.
