Is this priced kinda low? Did I miss something?

I'm interested in how you like your Rancho kit when it is done as well. What size tire you going to use?

I was very happy with mine and I know the new owner has had a great time with it too. It handles better than stock IMO. I had 37 13.50 on a 17 x 9 wheel. You can run 38's if you keep the wheel at 9" wide too. I think he has 38's on that truck now too.


I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT SUT DONE UP!!!!

I'm almost done... I have a couple of issues. The idiots that sold me the kit sent me the kit for air ride suspension. They don't carry the coil spring version.

So, I'm fukked and the only thing I can do is buy a set of 200 coil springs from Rancho.

I wanted to overnight them but it would have cost 193.00 bucks.


The other thing is, the bar that the skidplate attaches to is missing.

Other than that, it's basically done.

I gotta get bigger tires. (37's... that way they'll measure 35" tall)

Then I'm done....

I've got 39'5" Irok tires on my truck with the Rancho lift and I have no problems with rubbing, even offroad!

I'll bet it looks cool as hell too.

The problem is and which happened with my last H2 is you install bigger tires. The truck runs like crap. So I added 4.56 gears. It helped but I still ended up throwing a supercharger on it to make it "better".

That was all cool but even if you discount the headaches and cost to get where I was, I had issues.

I couldn't park in parking decks, (not an overly big deal until you go to bike week and have to leave your rig on the side of the road)

And I got 7-8mpg on the highway.... granted, I usually run 85'ish but when I make 700 mile trips to FL from NC, I don't want 7-8 mpg.

So on this one, I'll put nothing taller than 35" tall (which will probably require a 37), it will look decent and I don't lose that much performance.
