Default Question for Rancho

I have the 4" Sport lift with the RS9000XL shocks.

What setting do you recommend for the shocks when wheeling / rock crawling/ trail riding/ mudding?

Thanks in advance.

No problems so far.

It rides super nice on the road. I drive about 30 miles each way to work.

Off road, I'm real happy with it. But I think I need to stiffen up the ride while on the trails.

Hook-em got me hooked on the Rancho lift. I got another buddy to get one. It's a Rancho fest down here in South TX.

Nice!
I tend to like it a bit squishy on the trail. So I run around about 2-3. Try somewhere around the 5 setting if you see a lot of more trail/scenic. But around town and on the long JKX road days bumped it up in the 7-8 range somedays.
The SPORT is a great suspension for sure.

How much lift did you get with this kit? I know it said 4" but was the true measurement less or more now that it has had time to settle?

Going from stock rubi tires and rims to 315/70/17's on 17x9 rims with the Rancho 4" sport lift, I got an average of 5 1/4" over stock. My neighbor has had his on for a year and is about 1/4" lower than mine.

@ Rancho - I'm going to try the higher settings for the drive to work. I just assumed it would be too stiff.

I got exactly 4"of lift with this kit on all for corners. Lost about 1/4"after I added my bumper. Its a great kit, wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
