G'day folks !

Anyone have any comments or reviews on the Rancho Quicklifts?
I have a 2016 1500 and I've been looking at these recently but haven't seen any feedback

Thanks in advance!

I've heard mixed reviews. Definitely nice that it comes ready to go. It seems that most still opt for the bilstein 5100s though.

Love mine so far, But my factory shocks towers and spring were rusted to hell and I wouldn't of been able to reuse them. So getting the Bills for me would of cost substantially more since I had to buy springs and upper strut mounts.

I also have the RS9000 in the rear and I was able to adjust my ride the way I like it. Again this isn't available on the bills.

As for mix reviews, they are available for both Bill and Rancho. You cant please everybody.

But if you want 100% level look the bills are the way to go. I use my truck for towing and work so leveling a truck is the last of my worries.

I just want to just level the truck get rid of a little rake. That's why I'm leaning toward the rancho's. I like the quick strut idea

38.5" in the front 39" in the rear with Ranchos all around + airbags at 12Lbs in the rear. since you are taking all that crap apart get some aftermarket UCA's

I actually like some of the features of the rancho. Pretty slick. I wish bilstein would offer a setup like that with a better than factory spring

I have the Rancho quick lifts on my 08 ram 1500 and they are bad ass and look great! I don't know why everyone loves bilstein. Rancho's look Way better. I'm surprised more ppl don't have Rancho's. They ride great and have more adjust ability than the bils. Either way they are both great brands. It's just nice having the full strut assembly already put together.

I've had Ranchos on for over a year now and they're doing great. I had about 3" of rake and I got about 2" of lift out of them leaving 1" of rake. Install couldn't have been easier. Ride is as good as stock of not slightly better. Got mine from Amazon where it was the best price at the time. They had a sale on them for $165 each.
