How long do you have to wait for the rebate?

I think I'm finally sold on a lift kit. Hard to beat getting a $1200-$1400 lift for only 600 bucks. Reviews seem to be solid across the board and it's an easy kit to upgrade if I need to down the road. Seems like a win-win.

I've read it can take a couple of months to get the rebate. It comes in the form of a debit card with $500 balance. You can use it anywhere like a credit card. That's what I read.

I've been running this kit for over 18 months and am super please with it. For a DD with a 4" lift used for occasional moderate to difficult wheeling, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything better under $600. When I bought mine it took 6 weeks to get the Visa gift card in the mail.

We quote 8 to 10 weeks from our clearinghouse house, but I have seen 4-6 weeks.

As usual thank you for the positive comments.

I had ordered the kit and awaiting arrival and install.

However I'm curious about this quote? Is WayofLife saying this Rancho 4" Sport Lift can't do rocks?

I live in Alabama where we have hills and rock, and rocks normally covered in mud. So I'm curious about statement?

I think he's just saying your not getting a ton of extra flex from this kit and therefore not the best choice for rock crawling... Maybe I'm wrong.

This kit has drop down brackets in the front... makes it steer like stock... but they can get hung up on the rocks. The coils... they are as good as any coils that lift 4 inches.
The relocation brackets are not as good in "terrible rocks" as a whole set of adjustable control arms would be... but for another 1100 bucks you could do that at some later date. I've hit the passeger side hard on the bracket once... it was fine... just a couple flat spots.

I've ran trails in Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, Utah, Colorado... and it has always been much better then stock.
Will it be great on the "little Sluice"? err... no. But for what most of us get to do it will get you there and back!

A good kit to compare value with is the AEV kit... look at the price in that kit which is basicly the same idea- and you realize this kit is a great value!

I added JKS rear spring retainers and a weld on rear trackbar brace on the axle. I also added tera flex front spring retainers.
I welded the trackbar drop bracket to the frame, and used an EVO steering brace.

So with my extras I had 740 into the lift.

Bump stops, and the shocks travel long enough to get you pretty good flex. It relocates brake lines... it rides nice and is adjustable.

IT's not going to give you the flex of a long arm kit... it's not going to make you a better driver.

35"s fit with no problem, no rubbing, no triming.
