Anyone heard anything about these new Rancho quickLIFTs? I'm picking up my new Sierra 4x4 tomorrow and leveling it will be one of the first things I do. I had a Titan that I had put Radflo coil-overs on to level it out and give it a better ride. Not sure what is out there that would be similar for the GMC. Any input is appreciated.

Most everybody here is running front leveling kits. No need for front strut replacement. I also had a Titan... The front suspension sucked. I kept it 4.5 months. The GM trucks have a much better designed front end. Level it and you'll be happy.

 

Welcome back to GM.

Go with the Quicklift I say, because supposedly you can fit 35's, or thats what Rancho says.

 

I'd love to see what they look and perform like.

I'm thinking it would be an upgrade of the strut from the Z71 package, plus get the level, all for about $400. I'm going to think about it.

I just installed a Rough Country leveling kit and got 33s installed today, fits like a glove and looks great. I could probably fit 35s with a little trimming as there is quite a bit of space between the tire and wheel well liners.

Well, I went ahead and ordered the quickLift today along with matching rear shocks. I pick them up tomorrow, but not sure when I'll have time to get them installed. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Anyone need some brand new shocks from a Z71?

Dude you made me so happy today. I am excited to hear the results from the new struts!!!

Had the Ranch quickLift and the RS9000XL's on the rear installed yesterday. I'm very happy with this purchase. Yes, it was more than your typical leveling kit, but I'm very glad I went this route. The suspension is much improved in my opinion, at least it's more to my taste. I lucked out and found a shop to install it all for $100, so I can't comment on installation process. I took some measurements today and it's perfectly level. I was hoping for a 1/2" rake in the back, but with the truck only have 700 miles on it, the front may still settle a little, at least that is my hope. All 4 shocks are adjustable to 9 different settings, I have not messed with any different settings yet, but hopefully I'll play with that a little over the next few weeks.

 

Anyone need the factory strut and rear shocks from a Z71? If so, PM me with an offer.

 

Oh, I'll get pics once I get the Terra Grapplers on and get it washed. It's been raining here and it looks like crap! Gotta love a black truck! :dunno:

Since you have the 9-way shocks you should get the in cab adjuster! I can't remember the exact part name.

I wouldn't do that actually, those lines are prone to coming off or having water leakage past the O-rings, which'll ruin the shocks pretty d**n quick

I've also heard that they don't hold their pressure and you have to constantly adjust it every few days. But whatever. I just want to see pictures.

Hmmmm, I'll have to look into that, that would be nice!

I can't wait to see the pictures on this, I'm thinking about getting the quickLift too mainly because I don't have the money for the 4" CST and I want my truck to look better.

do you still have the shockock and could they fit on a 2001 sierra?

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
