Rancho or Bilstein

Looks great , what size tires are those ? How is the ride compared to stock with the lift ?

33x12.5 toyo rt's. I like ride is good. I like the adjustment, makes it nicer when were on dirt roads.

I already told you......it WILL......because I did it!

Let me know how it goes though, I'm curious on your thought of the ride vs. stock.

Haha I know, I was a skeptic. It works! Boo yah!

I've had the stiffest ride setting on the way home, it was about the same as the level kit. I cranked them down when I got home, and I will see how it rides at the mid range. I'm glad it kept the lift.

Rancho should really look into that, they may be loosing business because of it. I'm not sure how to post pics of someone tells me I can throw em up

Thanks. They ride nice compared to the leveling kit. In my opinion much better option if u don't mind paying a bit more.

Looks great, so it gave you exactly 2" of lift? The Rancho 7000MT ride height adjustable is supposedly 2" of lift as well though i can't find any reviews or use of those for the 2014 GMC or Chevy. I'm close to ordering to bilsteins if i can just get word they actually lift a little over 1.8" Which i think they will.

Yah the lift stayed the same

As my 2 inch level. It also fixed the ride quality which was my biggest peeve of the level kit

I have the rear ranchos aswell that I will put on myself this weekend and see the overall effect

What was your thoughts after adding the rears?

Thinking about putting the Rancho Quicklifts on the front and leaving the rear with the stock z71 ranchos. Anyone setup this way? Hows the ride?

hokis · January 28, 2015

how much did you guys end up paying for the struts? I know you have to buy 2 individually and they are about 180 a pop

With the rancho coil over 2 inch lift do the ball joints stay within limits I talked to rancho tech about this and they said the ball joints would be in limits. I looked for the rear shocks Rs9000xl adjustable on ranchos site and the part # was RS999297 but rancho tech said I need RS999198. Just wondering what part # have been used.
