Rancho Lifts

Here I go again. I have asked about the regular (not long arm) Rancho lift on other forums and never get feed back. I am starting to think they are either a big secret or so good that everyone that has it is always on the trail and not on forums.

Anyone have any experience with the Rancho lift? I like it but would like to hear from someone who has actually used one.

never met anyone who has a rancho lift on a JK, sorry dude. But I know a lot of people who have Rock Krawler, and they build bad ass stuff

Pm TxRubiRig. He has a Rancho and is not exactly thrilled with it. Let him explain.

Yeah! I a friend of mine's boss has one on his JK, and has been in the shop several times fixing it. Something about the relocation brackets being axel mounted instead of frame mounted. Which makes them bad, so I've heard. Although I saw the high end one on Offroad adventures the other day on TV it looked pretty kick ass. The rear has a single pivot, and removes the need for the rear adj trackbar all together. It's like a triangle in the back that mounts to the rear diff, and then sway bar mounts. It's suppose to keep your shoes on the ground more...but I think it frecking expensive as hell.

Sounds good in theory, too bad it DOESN'T work! If you buy that lift, all you a doing is purchasing expensive crapola. Don't do it. If you really want to drop that much cash, go for a Poly Performance SynergyII lift of the new Tera long arm.

Thanks for all the input. Didn't get specifically what I wanted on the sport lift. Sounds like a company I don't want to do business with however.
