I drive a 2009 Ford F150 XLT 2WD, and I want to raise the front end up a little. I keep seeing where it's considered to be a bad idea to add a 2" or higher lift to the front end because of how bad it is for the tie-rods and CV joints.

Does anyone know if these Rancho QuickLift shocks/coils are better for the truck? Is a 1.5" lift any safer for the front suspension? Is it even possible to get a lift below 2"??

Thanks for any help!

 

It is right at 1.75" for the 2009 2WD. We want to keep the angles all happy.

 

So with a 1.75" front lift, it won't have an adverse affect on the angles of the front suspension??

A lot of questions... but I'm just trying to cover all my bases before going ahead with the full purchase of the QuickLift shocks...

 

Correct, any higher and you will have issues.

 

Rancho just set me up with a et of these quicklifts and they are awesome! I installed them on my 2wd 2004 and got exactly 2" of lift. The angles of all components are still good and there isn't any binding or extreme angles on anything. The ride quality is excellent too! Get them and you won't be disappointed!
