Rancho Lift Finally on

Well it took my friend and I all of Saturday, but we got the Rancho lift on. I am running the Rancho kit, with a Daystar 1" spacer up front and a 2" lift shackel in the back. The wheels are 20 x 9 Ballistic Wizards, with 35 x 12.5 Toyo O/C MT's. I think the rear may need to be raised a little, but I want let the suspension settle and then I'll see if I need to add a little bit bigger block in the back. I want it to sit either level or have a slight rake to it.

Welcome to the club! The lift looks great and I like your wheel choice. I saw you bought those tow mirrors, great choice!

I have a 5" block on mine and remember, Autospring can make custom rear blocks if needed.

Congrats!

Thanks Stovetop, I tell everyone, I was going for the look of yours. Yeah I might have to get that 5" block. Did you need to get longer ubolts than the ones from Rancho and where did you get the blocks. I want ones that are like the Rancho's. Did you ever get your airbags in by the way. You also were saying you might change out your 1" daystar for one of the offset spacers. Thanks for all your help too.

Just ordered the 5" rear block from rough country to get the back up a little. Forgot to mention that there was a little bracket missing to lower the rear brake lines and good thing its an easy thing to make cause Rancho was useless I called and they were like sorry that part is no longer available. Like I said good thing it wasn't a major part.

I got my 5" block from the Classified section here but I was all set to order them from AutoSpring. Be sure your new block is the double-pin design, specific to our trucks. I got the air bags installed a few months ago and are one of the best mods so far found on the Classifieds section! I added about another inch of rear lift to give me more rake but the truck stays level when I tow the boat.

As we talked about before, I plan to replace my Daystar 1" spacer with a 1.5" offset one from AutoSpring. I'll keep you posted...

I got the new rear block today from Rough Country it is double pinned like the stock one and Rancho one with the bump stop. It is 5" instead of the 4.5" from Rancho so I hope its enough. Ill be happy with level.

When adjusting the RS9000's the number facing the top is the setting right? What is a good setting for normal road driving. No towing.
