Where to get a Good Deal on a Rancho Suspension for my 04 F150?

Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting the following suspension, called several places and many people don't include the shocks, but I want to get it as a package deal to take advantage of Rancho's $500 GC.


Now I found it on 4Wheel Parts but I will not give them my business since I called to ask them questions and instead I was told if I knew how to use a computer and go online and find it all out.Being a Website Designer, I was not only insulted but I will not give them my $2k to $4k I was planning on:

http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...pn=RANR1269R9B


If anyone has bought a Rancho suspension and can recommend a good website that will allow me to buy these for a good deal, grab up some 18x9 Black Wheels and Grabber Tires, that would be greatly appreciated!

Part Number: RANR1269R9

Rancho Suspension 4 inch Lift Kit with RS9000XL Shocks
Front Lift Height: 4 inches
Rear Lift Height: 2.5 inches
Front lift method: Crossmember & Steering Knuckles
Rear Lift Method: Rear Lift Blocks W/U-Bolts
Includes Front & Rear RS9000XL shocks
Component finish: Red
Incl. Skid Plate
Exc. 8200 GVW
Max Tire Size: 35 X 12.5
Max Wheel Size (inches): 18 X 9
Backspace (inches): 6

I bought that same kit from them, because they have a local store. I don't blame you for not wanting to get it from them. It was a painful transaction requiring a bunch of phone calls by me and 4 trips to the store. I will never do business with them again.

4 wheel parts is worthless, there are very few you hear good comments about.

i dont know the stipulations of the rebate, i'm assuming it's a mail in and you can buy it anywhere before a certain date?
check out truckaddons, trucktoyz, there's another big one i can't remember. but google is usually the easiest way to find all of those website.
there part numbers are changed so i don't know if they have the one you want or not, i found this one on google shopping.

Thanks guys, glad to hear I'm not the only one, not only are their images low quality for the suspension but their customer service sucks.

As far other places, TruckAddons and TruckToyz are definitely my list to check. That one too, and if anyone recommends any GOOD places let me know, if not I'm going to see if my buddy who owns an off-road shop can just buy it from Rancho for a good price and I can still get the rebate.

Here's the rebate: http://cdn.autoanything.com/images/p...ebate_2011.pdf

Not really, I don't want to do 37s, I have a 3" body lift so with the 4" i'll be at 7" that's good enough for now....hopefully 35s won't look too funny on it.
