Rancho Quick Lift

Anyone installed these on their truck yet. I got a price from 4 Wheel Parts for $180 each plus install . I got 80,000 on front shocks and probably need new ones on front. I put MX 9 on the rear and made a night and day difference. The Ford dealer put new stock Ranchos on the rear and it handled worse than the reg factory shocks. Kept them for a month and put the new MX on and wow!

I had them on my truck for about two weeks before I had them replaced with a leveling kit and the Rancho RS9000 strutts. I loved the way they rode but it did NOT level the truck like they say. I still had about a .5 to .75 nose down effect and I wanted my truck level. If you do not care about it being perfectly level they are pretty good like I said they rode really nice.

I have the Rancho RS9000XL shocks in the back and like I said the RS9000 struts with a procomp leveling kit and I loe the way it rides.

I changed mine out at 60K. The stock rear shocks were completely shot and the front left strutt was making a popping noise over bumps. I think the truck rides better than the day it was new...of course the RS9000 series shocks from Rancho are adjustable to 9 settings so you can pretty much set the ride the way you like it.
