RanchoRed Junior Member Registered: 12/06/01 Posts: 6 Loc: Toledo, Ohio	I heard that Rancho has just released a 2 1/2 inch suspension lift for the 2 & 4WD Xterra's. (Rancho Part Number RS6592) It also fits the Frontier King Cab. I talked to a guy the other day who said it will be out this month.

Yep, too bad they didn't include torsion bars or shocks or a few other important items in the kit ... and they still want $700 for it. Um ... no! ------------------ Philosopher's Xterra Mid-Atlantic Xterra Club

I've driven an Xterra equipped with the upgraded torsion bars AND the Bilstiens and oddly it rides better than stock but doesn't bottom out as easily. Hmmmm. In contrast, I have Rancho RSX shocks and stock torsion bars in the front end of my truck and have a harsh ride on small bumps but out of control oscilation on bigger bumps and road dips (we're talking ALL OVER the damn road!). I also bottom out easily. So tell me why I would want a Rancho setup over the SLR/Bilstien option? ------------------ ChuckH 2000 SE 4x4, Aztec Red _________________________ ChuckH "Every morning when I wake up I know it's not going to get any better 'til I go back to sleep again!"

RanchoRed Junior Member Registered: 12/06/01 Posts: 6 Loc: Toledo, Ohio	Listen. All I came here for was to let some fellow Xterra owners know that there was another suspension lift out there. Everyone has their own preferences on shocks and lifts. I have been a loyal Rancho fan for years, that's it! I do not work in the automotive business nor would I even want to these days. On another note,I have heard that the RSX shocks are a little rough, but I had the RS9000's on my Jeep and that made dialing the ride in very nice. ------------------
