Would like to know if anybody removed the strut spacers and replaced them with blisten 5100's, Rancho quicklifts, Rancho RS9000XL's or any other extended struts.

Rancho 4" has been discontinued and i'm shifting toward Rough Country, Zone, and ProComp. They all have the strut spacer....

If you guys have changed them then photos would help out alot and help me decide which kit I want to go with and what size. I was bent on having the Rancho 4" but that ship has sailed...

 

alot of people do this. mostly with the bilstein 5100 4-6" lifted struts. or you could get a fabtech 6" lift that already comes with an extended strut

 

Yeah I was thinking of Blisten or the Rancho 9000's.. I don't like the front mount on the Fabtech. I could just get the struts from them though...

 

You should still be able to get the Rancho 9000xl shocks (or any of their shocks) for a 4" lifted application. Although the kit may be discontinued, they should still make shocks to support their lift kit.

Part numbers:
Fronts: RS999769
Rears: RS999287

Quick check of Shockwarehouse.com and 4Wheelparts.com list them.

Edited to add that the Fabtech kit is a really nice lift. Although I like my Rancho, I like the Fabtech kit over the Rough Country kit.

 

Alfack pointed out to me last night that there is in fact a Rancho Kit on ebay right now.... Pretty pricey at that... Seeking other options and may end up going with a 6" Procomp.

My issue is right now the other lifts have a max of 4.5 bs.... My bs is 5.75 Procomp offers 4-5"bs.... I'm thinking this could lead to some rubbing on the spindle or control arm... Haven't found the answer to that yet.... Still searching
