Suspension, Level Kit, Quick Lift Shock, and BOdy Lift

[nickaliRAM]

I have been researching and going through all the forums since yesterday and also called a few shops and I think this is the lift setup that I have come up with, with the help of you guys in the forum and a local shop.

I am going to use the RCX 6" suspension Lift with a 2" leveling kit, with Rancho Quick Left Shocks in the front to help with the rake. Then a 3" body to finish out to clear 40's.

Thoughts?

If you're 4x4, a lot of people will recommend the Bilstein 5100 Adjustable shocks. But you're plan sounds good to me! I don't know much about lifts yet though, so we'll let others chime in also!

I am 4x4. I have heard the Bilstein 5100 is really good, but I was told the Rancho Quick Lift adjustable is the latest and greatest.

Thank you for the input, I am looking forward to hear what everyone has to say...

you cant combine a lift and a leveling kit up front.
you can add a coil spacer in the rear tho

Ah. He's right. I took the leveling as the rancho shock. There's no need for the 2" leveling kit in front with the rancho or the bilsteins.

I love it man.....do it!

But get some lighter weighted 40's though. SS M16 weigh about the same as 38" Toyo MT's (38x13.5)

Im sure ReefGuy will chime in here shortly.....LOL

Rancho's do make leveling shocks similar to Bilsteins, but OP, I would still recommend Bilsteins and set them to 2.1.
That is how I have mine :********:

Just do the Rancho shocks, rcx 6" and 3" body lift..there won't be a need/nor can you use a leveling kit combined with a leveling shock...cause way to many problems! But I like the idea of 40's lol

 

[ramhunter9]

Yup , the Rancho is the 2" level in the front and is a all in one system ... unlike the Bilstein where you have to disassemble the coil spring on the OEM and reuse .. the rancho is a simple 2.5 adjustable (remote controlled unit) that simple replaces it all.

RCX 6"
Rancho quick lifts
3" PA Body ..

thats the ticket

 

[nickaliRAM]

OK, so the leveling kit in the front wont work? Ok. So I need to go with the Adjustable Rancho shock in the front to get added lift, and then coil spacer in the back?

But I think he was going to use a Rancho leveling shock....unless I am missing something....
But again, do the Bilstein 5100s over the Rancho's IMO

Correct!
But go with the Bilstein 5100 up front and set them to either 2.1 or 2.75"
Then use a 1.5" rear coil spacer in the rear.
You can grab that from top gun customz

Hmmmm! Very interesting Dave

 

[ramhunter9]

He is looking at these .. and they are a 2.5
Just for reference.

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

He said "leveling kit, with leveling shocks"..unless he meant leveling with a leveling shock ie rancho/ bilsteins...just don't use a level strut/coil spacer combined which is what I thought he meant

 

[ramhunter9]

I think he was talking about using the level kit on top of a leveling strut (rancho)

But what he meant to say was just using a leveling shock with the lift .. in that case your golden

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Ok just wanted to inform him on the danger of doing the combined (if thats what he meant) lol...but yes if you go Rancho or Bilsteins to level your good to go
