I put the Quick Lift Loaded's on my 05 about a year and a half ago...

My truck is levelish...at least it doesn't look like its always going downhill...

You might want to check, but I think Rancho also offers these in a 1" version. Perhaps you were shipped those...

Overall, I am happy with the Rancho's....

Regards!!

 

set the truck on the ground and check and see how close the upper control arm is to the spring. the higher you go the closer it will get

 

i installed quiklifts on my dads 150 and he can clear 315's with moto metal 951's. interesting you didn't get the same amount of lift

 

The thing is the quicklifts fit either 2wd or 4wd (same model for both). So installing it on a 4wd, there is considerably more weight is on top of that spring. Therefore, the lighter spring rate causes it to sit lower.

 

 

Ha hey! That looks about level to me! And the freshly painted flares are gorgeous

Did the new FX4 decals go on nicely? Where did you get them from? Those look great too. You're 09+ mirrors and fender badges away from a fully "updated" truck.

And I just noticed the door handles. You've been busy! Did you remove them and have them professionally painted?

 

I sanded, primed, and painted them myself! They came out absolutely factory-standard! I have been looking around for badges, but it is beyond me to spend 100+ bucks on 3 badges. So I will keep on looking. I got the stickers off amazon for 20$. They went on easy enough, had a few minor bubbles on the passenger side but not noticeable.

Took new measurements yesterday, and the thing is level to an eighth of an inch. Some guys on another forum found that if you werent satisfied, the stock springs have a heavier rate than rancho's. They swapped the springs and gained almost an inch.
As for my case, either I took bad measurements, or the truck fairy lifted the front for me.

 

How did you get your quiclifts to level out? Did you swap the OEM coil springs back in? I have about 200 lb of winch and mount up front not normally on these trucks, that is sort of what I attribute my not being level to... I still want it up higher, and I do NOT want to go with a full on lift. I am wondering if a higher spring rate stock type coil would work. I would be afraid of it being too firm of a ride though...

 

Dang, good job! Did you get color matched paint in spray cans? I definitely can't tell that they aren't factory from that pic. I grappled with how much the badges are for a long time. I finally just bit the bullet after wanting them for so long. Most money I've ever paid for bits of plastic. My truck is 2wd with FX4 badges, so I may end up playing 4wd with some FX4 decals too lol.

Your truck got one hell of a makeover, it looks great.

 

Okay, I measured my heights tonight, and it is far worse than I expected. To the top of my flares, which are 1/4" above the top of the wheel opening...

Front 39", rear 41". That is a full 2" difference! No wonder the rake is so noticeable! I double checked my part #s against the Rancho web site...

This is really sad because I absolutely LOVE the way these ride. I have driven a new F150 4x4 recently and the Quicklift rides smoother, even with the mean old knobby tires.

I have sent in a support request to Rancho. I know my front end is a bit heavier than normal, but not 2" worth... At this rate I am SERIOUSLY considering throwing a 2" spacer on top of these to get my level back.

 

More info needed to make any sense of your post!

firstly: we assume you are referring to the rancho quicklifts... but what year/trim f150 are you talking about?

secondly: 315/???/??? with Moto Metal 951 (diameter in inches?)
