Rancho quicklift loaded

ncorry · July 23, 2015

I installed mine, and even straight out of the box, I couldn't read the numbers. On my red circle "dials", there are four points- i.e. basically 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. One of those dials is longer than the other three. Can someone with a set of these finish this sentence for me?

When the longest point on the dial is turned straight up, the setting is ________.

5

Best settings for me have been 5 in the front and 4 in the rear.

Turn them completely counter clock wise and you're at setting 1.

Does the red knob rotate more than one full turn? Another way to ask- if I crank the knob as far as it goes counter clockwise to get to 1, how many degrees clockwise do I rotate to get to 5?

Projo Summit- thank you for your quick replies and for your reports on the various ways to get to a level front.

ETA- Hey, hey, hey, look what google turned up for me---

Why couldn't Rancho printed this off and put it in the box???

I found it pretty easy to figure out, each click is one setting.

How much you spend all total?

Does this setup do anything to increase payload capacity or do I still gotta consider airbags?

Why r people wondering about steering stabilizers? Does it feel mushy or?

i still put airbags on my truck. I pull 5 days a week and have a lot of tongue weight. If u are buying these to tow I would definitely install air bags over the rear shocks

Just letting u guys no I no longer have Rancho quick lift. My rear rs 9000xl left shock went out after 10,000 plus miles. The adjustment would just spin. So I removed and put the stock rear on and it rode a lot different with the front quick lift and stock rear. So I decided on getting new tires which are over 33". Went with 305 55 20 with 2.5 RC level and it rode great but rubbed with full lock. So I just added 1.5" zone body lift to it. Total of 4" lift and I love the ride and no running now. I wish the Ranchos wouldn't of failed me but they did

The plastic adjustment knob is replaceable. I took mine off and lubed inside. It's really just a plastic screw that pushes on a sealed metal piston (valve) inside. Hopefully you haven't thrown them away.

They also replace the entire shock when this happens done they?

Warranty will cover that.

I would be willing to bet they would.

I wish the adjustment knobs were made of a better plastic. Mine were stiff enough that at first I thought I was going to break the knobs too.

Chadwilliam1 · August 8, 2015

The adjustment knob and plate that hold it on should be made me metal. The plastic is silly.

i had installed from a local shop I no longer deal with plus I'm not worried about the money. I like to try out new things. I've moved on. I don't even have receipt.

I leveled mine up wits the quick lifts and after about a month I realized I like the rake look now I want to lift the back end.

How much rake do you want back?

I installed 3" blocks that gave me a 1.75". My stock rake was 2".

Chadwilliam1 · August 15, 2015

That sounds good. If mine is level now wouldn't a 2 inch block do it

HondaHawkGT · August 15, 2015

There are differing opinions on stacking blocks. Most say it's a bad idea to stack blocks while others say it's ok. I played it safe and pulled out the old block. I offroad from time to time so I wanted a solid setup.
