Lift Complete - Rancho 9000xls & Skyjacker Leafs

Just completed my lift today and I am super happy with the lift and the ride. Next step is tires.

I really like the Rancho 9000xl shocks because you can adjust them for towing, off-roading or regular use. If they fail, they are backed by a lifetime warranty.

I thought the group might want to know since the OME twin tube design is so popular with the group. The Rancho 9000xl shocks are a similar design, but can be adjusted.

 

pics????

Maybe a before and after

 

Here is my before and after.......



AFTER



Don't want to thread rob, but kind of like that

 

How rough is that ride? ^^^ and proper term is thread jacking

 

Mine?

I put Eibach springs and Billys 5100s set at .85 and 2" AAL w billies out back. Now it feels like it is planted to the ground. No more soft spongy felling.

I had a friend that traded a 2009 DCSB(all stock) for a 07 GT500 because he said it drove like crap. We hung out at a buddies house to watch football this past weekend(a keg was involved). He had to drive me home. He said "If I knew I could make this suspension feel this good with just the upgrades you did, I would have kept the truck."

 

I only see before where is the after?

Looks a lot better

 

Now for the 33" tires and n-fab side steps

 

Rancho 9000xl front lift kit (2.75")

 

So how's the lift thus far?? I may be going the Rancho direction myself?? I looked at the Bilstein 6125, or whatever, with 5100's, but wasn't comfortable knowing I would still need diff drop spacers, UCA's and leafs at an extra cost... So are you satisfied with this kit??

 

Holy thread revival, batman. I doubt you'll get a response from the OP. They haven't logged on since July 2012.

 

I saw that, but figured they might get an email or some sort of notice?? Even so, I received some pretty dumb-ass responses on here, so I may not be here much longer; or at least posts... Oh well, kids will be kids, boys be boys, and men will just carry on...
Lol!!! Thanks for your response tho!!!

 

I'm not the OP, but I have this lift on my truck and really like it...

 

Thanks for that.... So I take it, no issues on/off-road?? Any tire rub??

 

OP - any updates on the shocks? How did they perform and did they last?

 

No issues at all...I have the RS66901R9 lift on my 2013 DCSB. I did add the Toyotech 1/4" spacers up front and I removed the front mud flaps and cut the plastic behind the flaps for more front tire clearance. I run 285/70/17 BFG K2O. I don't do much off-roading, If I had to do the tire combo again, I would go with 275's or 265's if you are going to off road a lot. But I do like the lift a a lot.
