Ranch Quick lift CONS:

Did web search of rancho quick lift and found this quote below. My question is how more frequently will these need replacing?

"Anytime you lift or level the front suspension over 1.5 inches something usually isn’t going to be happy about it, and in this case most likely it will be the upper balljoints, CV boots and inner tierod ends. You may have to replace them more frequently because the angles of the suspension are exceeding the OE design.

anytime you change "factory settings" you are risking more wear and tear, wether its suspension, performance parts, rear gears, body parts etc etc. Its just a fact of life. If you have the extra cash might as well upgrade the suspension (Ball Joints, CV's, Tie Rods, etc etc) while they install the lift. I would look at the percentage of of people doing this and having issues to the number of people who did it without problems. Rancho makes a great product im sure they have done all the research possible and IF you do have issues im sure they will take care of you.

Tundra forum but it should help you out

Well, I just don't like the Rancho Quicklifts... I don't like the wheel not coming back when turning from a full left or right lock. The only + is the 'level look' other than that... no like.

tie rods are forced at an angle so the steering isn't "coming back" like nu-supercrew posted. Also if you run a heavy m/t tire it becomes harder to steer at a standstill

Maybe running a 'lighter' tire than the BFG TA KO would help with the come back?

Makes sense from reading it and understanding the suspension. We have been selling a lot the Belltech Lifting Struts lately. Wonder if this is why. The Belltech strut gives you 2" of lift.
