Subject: THOSE WITH RANCHO LIFTS...ANY PROBLEMS?
IP: Logged

Message:
Now that you guys with the Rancho lifts have had them on for awhile have you had any problems or complaints? I was waiting for awhile to see how you early birds liked your lifts before I got one. Smooth sailing or sinking ship? Any comments would be appreciated.

I wheel often and have no problems. I have even caught some air off some dunes a couple times.

Complaint is the re location of the upper ball joint/ spindle. Not that it could have been avoided but because of this you will not run anything wider than 10.5 on stock rims. 15 or 16x8 at 5.5" of BS. My 285x75x16's just barley rubbed but it was enough to start leaving a mark.



Never late for a Tee time or wheelin with my buddies! Always ready for both!!!

No problems at all, I have done some mild-offroading and put almost 5K on my truck since I installed lift over 3 months ago. I am running 5" BS with 35x12.50 tires and no rubbing on BJ, without the extra half inch using 12.50 wide tires I would be into the BJ too though. I love the appearance of my Dak, nice height and not too much torsion bars, brackets, etc. hanging down underneath like the Truckin Suspension and Whiplash lifts that look goofy from the side.
