Rancho quickLIFT

Rancho QuickLift struts are a premium suspension upgrade designed for trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps, offering a combination of leveling, improved ride quality, and enhanced off-road capability. QuickLift struts are a loaded strut assembly, meaning they come pre-assembled with the coil spring, strut mount, and other components, making installation easier compared to traditional struts.

Key Features:
1. Leveling and Lift:
– QuickLift struts provide a lift of 1 to 2.5 inches (depending on the vehicle make and model), primarily at the front of the vehicle, to level the stance. This eliminates the factory rake (where the rear sits higher than the front) common in many trucks and SUVs.
– The lift allows for larger tires (e.g., up to 33-35 inches, depending on the vehicle) without requiring additional modifications.

2. Pre-Assembled Design:
– Each QuickLift strut is a complete assembly, including the strut, coil spring, upper mount, and necessary hardware. This “loaded” design simplifies installation, as you don’t need a spring compressor or special tools to assemble the unit.
– Installation is typically a bolt-on process, though professional alignment is recommended after installation to ensure proper handling.

3. Adjustable Damping (on Some Models):
– Some QuickLift struts feature Rancho’s 9-position tuning technology, allowing you to adjust the damping to match your driving style or terrain. This ranges from a softer setting for a smoother on-road ride to a firmer setting for better off-road control.
– Models without adjustable damping are still tuned for a balance of on-road comfort and off-road performance.

4. Twin-Tube Design:
– QuickLift struts use a twin-tube gas-charged design, which provides better heat dissipation and durability compared to monotube struts. This makes them well-suited for off-road conditions where shocks can heat up during prolonged use.
– The gas charge reduces cavitation (foaming of the hydraulic fluid), ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads or rough terrain.

5. Durability and Build Quality:
– Constructed with a durable steel body and a protective boot to shield the piston rod from debris, QuickLift struts are built to withstand harsh off-road environments.
– They feature a corrosion-resistant finish (often a silver or zinc coating) to protect against rust, especially in regions with salted roads or high humidity.

6. Compatibility:
– QuickLift struts are vehicle-specific, designed for popular models like the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram 1500, and various Jeep Wrangler models.
– Rancho provides fitment guides to ensure compatibility with your specific year, make, and model.
