Since I'm now SAS'd, I need to find a home for my old Rancho IFS lift.



List price on this kit is roughly $1300, The cheapest I've seen it is $785.00 on Ebay, which doesn't include the shocks, ball joints, or complete springs. (Only add-a leafs are included in the Rancho kit.) I'm asking $500, because I just bought and installed brand new bushings in the control arms, I'm including the entire rear leaf pack assemblies, not just the add a leafs, and I'm including the front shocks also.



The only items that would need to be purchased to complete this kit are rear shocks, new upper ball joints, and two shackle sleeves. (Rancho part # 420054) The front shocks only have 20,000 miles on them. The rust on the rear leaves is very light surface rust, and could easily be cleaned off -- I'm just lazy. They are structurally sound. I still have the original directions and paperwork that I will include as well.

Located in Folsom, CA. Will ship to continental 48 states only.

No reasonable offer refused. I need this out of my garage!

I did not think Rancho made a 3" lift. Thought they were all 2.5".

It is actually advertised as a "2.5" - 3" lift" in Rancho's old literature. The variance depends upon on how high you decide to adjust the torsions. Here's an excerpt from one of the last steps in the instructions:

"Jounce suspension and move the vehicle to normalize ride height. If you prefer optimum clearance, adjust the tension on the torsion bars until the left front and the right front measurements are both 22 inches. Refer back to illustration #2. If you prefer optimum ride control, set the front measurements to 21.5 inches."

My stock measurements were 19" on the left front, and 18 3/4" on the right front. That translates to a 3 inch lift when the torsions are set to a 22" ride height.

When you set the ride height to 22 inches, there's about 1/4" clearance between the bump stop and the UCA. Not much droop. So that's probably why Rancho now advertises it as a 2.5" lift.
