Rancho QuickLIFT

[03sporttrac]

I have a tt and hate the rough ride.
Is there anything else out there like the Rancho QuickLIFT that fits the 03 sport trace xlt 2wd.
I have been searching the web and seen a couple of explorer ones that are the same year. will these fit?

3rd Gen Explorer's don't have Tbars.

Maybe you could do something like this though:

Buy rancho rs9000s and adjust them to your feeling? Clearly they will be more expensive due to adjustability but I'm sure they'd make the ride on torsion bars a little more tolerable.

Those won't work for a 1st Gen ST, we don't have struts like the 2snd Gen's and the '02-05 Explorer's.

I had the Wireless Remote System on my lifted '03 Sport Trac with the 9000XL's.

I ended up selling the kit and shocks after 3 years of use to another member for $150.

When you install the kit just make sure you don't have any air leaks anywhere or the compressor will keep running. Leave extra airline going to each shock for suspension travel and keep it away from anthing that might pinch it or pull it out of the connection.

I had the compressor in the bed of my truck but had a wooden box built I built to cover it.

The 9000XL's are awesome for towing, city driving, highway and offroading.

If you plan on lifting the truck don't get the 9000's, get the 5000's.

ok awesome yea the biggest lift I'm doing is the tt/shackle. Would i need longer shocks?? or would the stock size work?

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Stock length shocks are good, just replace the oem shocks with something else.
