Rancho 2" Sport Lift Kit
#11
I just put this on a little over a week ago, XL shocks. Very happy with it. The ride is awesome once you drop the settings on the shocks (started off at 9, stiffest setting. Currently at 3 for daily driving and it's great). I'm on Cepek FC-II 33x12.5
A few before and after pictures. I will say that the front is just barely higher than the rear now that the lift is on and it did lower in the front a bit once I tuned down the shocks. It's no where near as extreme as the factory rake was. Next mod is a bumper anyway, so should level it pretty nice.
You can be the judge in the pics (sorry for the crappy indoor shots, haven't had a chance to get any outside yet)

Just rebumping this thread hoping there's more word about this product. Does anyone else have this lift installed? Hopefully a picture would be great along with a quick review. I'm looking at running this with the rs9000xl shocks, 285/70r17 duratracs, and a bumper with a winch to start off with. For my dd as the price looks right and the shocks could be reused if I plan on going for a higher lift down the road, but will there be any rubbing when fully flexed front and rear?

There are a bunch of pictures in my profile of this lift with 33s and now with 35s. Now that i have a front bumper and winch there's not as much space up front, but I don't think you'll run with 285s

I have this kit and I love it ! I have always used rustys before but dollar for dollar this kit can't be beat . Rides great even with my 34 inch km2's ( hate that tire now don't buy lol) but the lift is great a little tip don't stack the spacers up front if u don't have a heavy aftermarket bumper I did not and it sits perfect !

Just installed mine last night, quick question for Rancho if they are still monitoring this thread...
Three of the shocks I installed, when compressed, slowly extended fully, while the 4th no matter where I compressed it to, just stayed there and didn't extend out.
This was while still not installed and just holding it in my hands.
Is that something to be worried about?
Other than that it looks great...
