Rancho

Has anyone used the rancho quick lift coil overs?

 

Yes. I put them in my truck back in December. Replaced my 5100s.

Honestly.....so far, for the price ($210 per side) and how they come ready to be put in, plus have the adjustable settings, I'd recommend them over 5100s. I haven't had them that long, but I do like how they ride over my 5100s. I haven't had any issues on the dirt roads I've gone down, nor do I do any serious off-roading so I can't comment on that aspect.

Overall, I don't have any complaints and enjoy them! Time will tell if they hold up longer than my 5100s which didn't last long at all before the lower bushing failed on me.

 

Do they provide any lift?

 

I can tell you that they're pretty awesome. They gave me a decent lift and improved the truck's performance on rocky terrains. The ride is also smoother and more stable. I definitely recommend them if you're looking for a solid upgrade to your Tacoma's suspension system.

 

Oh, for sure. You'll get around 2.5". It was almost identical to my 5100s with OME888 coils.

Do you think uca”s are needed. I was definitely going to get the 1.5in rear blocks and the 9000 shocks.

 

I had them on my 1st gen and my only complaint was the finish will corrode terrible (I see you are in NY). Get a scotch pad, scuff them up (including coils and top hats, everywhere) and apply two or three good coats of clear coat on them before install. Eventually the adjustment knobs will seize too. I suggest you do a yearly maintenance and disassemble the adjustment knobs and keep them greased. There are some youtube videos on this. Very easy to do.
On the pro side they rode nice. I used to plow with that truck and it was nice to crank up the damping when I had the plow on.

 

The lower bushing fails because everyone tightens the lower bolt with the suspension hanging. Then when you put the truck on the ground it twists the bushing and makes it bind, causing it to fail early. Keep the lower only bolt only finger tight, then when you're done and the truck is on the ground, jounce the suspension a few times and then do the final torque on the lower bolt.

 

What size tires do you recommend? Want to stay with my stock rims.
