Just out of curiousity, does anyone know anything about the Rancho suspension? I swear I read that they had a bump steer problem.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Mark

The Rancho looks like a nice kit, there was a guy on the forum with a green H2 who had it.

I have to. I made a 1000 bet that I wouldn't supercharge it for the first year.

LOL.

OC,

I think the more research you do re: the Rancho kit will lead you right back to the Cognito kit or a setup like Tom.

That was me.

RuggedH2 now has that truck and improved on the kit as well. He'll have to comment on what he changed up.

I can tell you that this kit is expensive though. The kit is listed as a 4", but did add 6" without the additional height of the tires. You cannot use the stock rims either.

The only things I did not like about the kit:

Teh Tbars do hang down below the frame...but with the added height
isn't too big of an issue.

The kit is not reversible. You're not going back to stock...ever...well at least without welding.

the rear drop brackets (I think Rugged addressed this though) did hang down quite a bit.

As far as ride quailty and highway speeds, that kit handled great. But with adding this kit, ther are other things to consider: steering stabilizer, idler/pitman support, Hd Tierods are all not included in this kit and added to better handling too. I did not add the support kit on that one though.
