QuickLift Installed
Just finished installing my Rancho QuickLifts (Front) and RS9000XLs (Rear) and boy, what a difference!! Huge ride change over stock and the truck ('04 SCrew Lariat) stands so nice and level.
Easy to install front and rear. I feel much more comfortable using these QuickLifts over a standard leveling kit. Plus you get the ability to adjust the stiffness of your ride.
Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next step is to install the Rancho Wireless controller for the shocks. At first glance it looks very easy to install. I will update once it is complete (This weekend, I hope)

Wireless Controller Added
**Update**
Installed the air lines, pump, and controller for the shocks this weekend and all is more than well.
I like the "sport" setting, and i look forward to testing the "work/Haul/Trailer" setting when she is fully loaded in the back. (Had a less than favorable experience with Stock suspension and 7/8 a ton of retaining wall block)
Install = Easy, but require some preplanning
Install time = 2 - 3 hours
Rancho Product and instructions = pretty good (Included spare parts)
Final Opinion = If you have Rancho 9000 series shocks and/or quick lifts this is a very nice addition and makes "adjusting" your ride very easy. If uts time to replace the worn out factory shocks, take a few minutes to look at the Rancho product line.
Cons = the controller for the system appears to "error" when decreasing pressure from high to lower, unless it is set back to 0 front and 0 rear. I am planning on calling Rancho on this today.
** NO i do not work for Rancho, I am just an engineer that was looking for info on these products and there was very little in the line of reviews or people with them installed (Hope this helps those that are looking)

I concur with PaGe. Mine has also worked great. I DID photograph the installation but you'll have to get an upcoming issue of Off-Road Adventures Magazine (Google it ya lazy bums ( : < ) to see it. It was supposed to run in September issue, out now, but it got bumped. I haven't been told to which issue it was bumped but it will be soon
