Rancho quick lift struts (coilovers)

Like most used car parts I'll tell you this

"those have more than 500 miles"

 

Kwikvette , yeah I am not blind either and was thinking the same

 

Crazy that the seller wouldn't wipe them down & clean them up.

 

You would think. I am an impasse.

Do I buy them and then add new shocks or just get new OEM...

 

I'd buy new.
You wouldn’t want used suspension parts off some of the 4x4's I had in my younger days.

 

Guys, I have a chance to get a pair of 5100 bilsteins with 5k on them for a great price.

Would you mix Rancho quick struts with the 5100 shocks?

No doubt… just buy new shocks. Especially rears… any reputable brand will do the job
Get some fox 2.0 only a cpl hundred $

 

Okay, youse guys convinced me. New Ranchos RS5000X for the rear

 

Buy them If they are in proper working condition! I just put a brand new set on my 95 and I love them! I like the lift they gave also!

 

Now you tell me! They sold yesterday for $80. Oh well

 

Wait...you were undecisive about a set of shocks for over a month...and the shocks cost as much as a tank of gas?

 

I wasn't sure about mixing the Rancho quick struts with the Bilstiens. I snoozed and I losed.

 

Fellas I just finished installing my Rancho quick struts and new Rancho RS5000X shocks. Took some time trying to get the lower portion of the struts in place to install the bolt and nut. Nothing my new, used set of Craftsman pry bars couldn't handle. Also had fun trying to compress the shocks to get the lower bolts on. Learned a lot: especially patience!!! Lol

Wow! What a difference in ride and handling! Love em so far and will get an alignment next. It rides quite a bit higher in front than I expected but hey I am happy.

 

Only took 3hrs. Darn things were fighting me the entire time!

 

Does the truck sit level?

 

I think so. Will have to get used to it.

 

Nice install man! Every time I see Rancho stuff I gotta bust out my Copenhagen long cut straight. On that note, I gotta go to the gas station brb.

 

Thanks Tragic. It took me 3hrs but hey, I am old!
Did you get your Copenhagen?

 

I did not, everything here in Central TX is frozen over. Again. lol. The struggle is real.
