Rancho quick lift shock questions

I'm in Taunton and that would be awesome! Because right now it's this kit with new rear leafs or bilstein 6112 and 5160 with leafs and camburg control arms but that will cost a bit more lol

 

That's why I went with the Rancho Lift, it was less expensive than piecing it together with various manufactured components. Everything is Rancho, so when it came to the alignment it went pretty smooth. the truck does not shake at all at any speed and drives straight as an arrow. No issues...when are you considering purchasing...

 

End of summerish, too many home projects going on at the moment

 

Do the front shocks say "QuickLift" on them? I'm looking at this kit, but every website doesn't call them Quicklifts.

 

No they don't actually say QuickLift on the front spring/shock assembly. I had the same question when I did my lift, so I called Rancho and they assured me that they are the same assembly.

 

they are working good on my truck. Rancho quicklift.

 

what size tires are you running and how did the alignment go...

 

Cooper T/As 275/60/20 alignment is always a stab in the dark. find someone in your area that does lifted trucks.

 

my alignment came out great even with my 285/70/17....with your tires all should have gone well, due to the smaller tires...by that I mean 275/60...the 20" rim and the 60 ratio is a good ratio to tend with alignment...nice job, looks great too. I Like the ride these suspensions give too. I also like your head lights, what are they?

 

How much lift did u get from the Quick lift struts ? I just purchased them and I sent my truck to the local spring shop and had them straighten out the factory tsb springs. I am waiting for my new frame to come in so I can have the dealer change everything . Rancho said 2.5-2.75 inches of lift on the trd sport 4x4.

 

I had to take it back but it’s good now. Tacomabeast headlight check out the web site.

 

believe it or not with my set up I got just about 3" of lift...

 

Thank you for the answer. I was hoping to get close to 3 inches of lift in the front because the new spring pack is about 3.75. That's about the height I wanted to be at.

 

I'm definitely buying this kit.

 

Just make SURE you do not use Rancho 9000 front struts! Installed some this past March, by May I pulled them off, Rancho actually has a test drive period, they gave me a refund. The adjustable settings are just that, you adjust to a stiffness, but then your stuck there, they aren't adaptive like good struts are. They don't have stages. Secondly, thank you to the good folks at Dobinson's for figuring out why when I went from iron man struts, to 9000's, using the same springs, I lost a good inch of lift and the strut rubbed on the sway bar!
reason is, the 9000's have a flat bottom spring mount and use a cheap rubber pad to fit the bottom of the coil. On good struts, the bottom coil mount is metaland shaped to the bottom of the coil. That flat round metal pad on 9000's is wider than the formed metal mount so it rubs. Also, the travel is a tad shorter and the distance between the bottom coil mount and the top of the strut is about 1/2" less than the iron man or other good struts. Tacoma's have a 2 to 1 inside the coil over ratio, so for example 1/2" difference in the length of the coil over creates 1" of lift.

In my case, I put 3" coils on 9000's, the coils maxed out the struts, the struts compressed them by 1/2", therefore leaving my truck 1" lower and absolutely ZERO down travel.

I actually had a shop who is a Rancho authorized dealer contact Rancho... Absolutely correct! 2" Max! After that they are at full extension.
