Rancho QuickLIFT ??

Does anyone have experience with the Rancho QuickLIFT coil-overs for the 04+ F150 ? (info here) Is this a better approach than the AS 2.5 leveling kit ? I want to get rid of most of the rake in my 05 SCREW 4x4 and run larger tires, but I'm concerned about putting extra stress on the control arms and axles. Would coil-overs be a better choice ?? Thanks.

As far as the effects is has on your drivetrain, angles, etc, etc, it's really six of one or half a dozen of the other. They're both the same in that regard. The benefit from an aftermarket coil over that raises the front is you now get the added performance of new shocks. That's about it. As for detrimental effects, I think these leveling kits have been used for hundreds of thousands of miles by members on here with very little negative feedback. I say it comes down to money. Obviously the coil overs are going to be more than the spacer, but you get what you pay for.

Do some searching on this as this has been discussed ad nauseum. But I haven't heard too much about the Rancho's.

^ agreed 100%

Quicklift more expensive, but I am sure they give a better ride then the leveling kits.
