Really conflicted on what sort of lift to get. Pretty sure I don't want a full 4-6" lift. So that leaves me with the various "leveling" options.

Really like the Rancho 2" Quick Lift for the following reasons (based on reviews I've read on this site):

• new coilovers
• easy installation
• improved ride over stock
• adjustable ride

However, I also like the look of a slightly higher combo, such as Grandpa's Grocery Getter pictured below (3" Procomp Level / 2.5" rear block). However, I realize that's not a great solution for ride quality and longevity.

So that got me thinking... why not do the Rancho 2" Quick Lift with 1" spacers on top of the Rancho coilovers? Wouldn't that get me the 3" look with an improved ride quality over the 3" spacers?

Thoughts???

 

Not too great of an idea. Unless you don't like your ball joints, tie rod ends, or cv axles (if 4x4). Don't go over 2.5" at the most, otherwise you'll wreck front end components.

 

pizzaman makes a good point. I would add the caveat that all spacers have an adverse affect. Pick your poison ese!

 

As long as they don't fail, and good ones hardly ever do, slightly accelerated ball joint and CV life is about it

 

Agreed! The ride actually sucks too.

 

I actually didn't notice any difference, other than noticeable body roll I imagine 2.5-3" extension on the shock would make a difference. I only have a 2" and never offers for anything.

 

I wouldn't do that.. It works for Suspension Lifts but not on a level. You'd be better off just getting a 3" level or Blisteins and crank them up to 3"..

You run the chance of damaging your truck or putting to much strain on the strut causing to to snap..

 

Even with a 3" level you'll still ruin your ball joints, tie rod ends, etc pretty quickly.

 

The Quicklift Loaded is a 2.5" level anyway... Not 2". Or at least that is what they are supposed to provide...
