Rancho Performance Suspension & Shocks FAQ
How is height adjustment made on the Quicklifts? I have a 2007 Silverado and only want one inch of lift. The Quicklifts unfortunately are not going to be ride height adjustable, when we say that the quick lifts are adjustable what we're referring to is the valving.

Baseline The baseline for this review is 270,000 miles on the Tacoma, and 5 different shock absorber types. Factory TRD...
Tacoma versus Raptor: Summer Vacation Edition
While the change in vehicles might seem like a natural progression to some, or even an obvious move, it was anything but. Due to a string of unfortunate events at the beginning of our 2 week road trip, the '06 Tacoma with 260K miles started to show its age. The record breaking heat in the western half of the United States was taking its toll on aged vehicles, seizing pulleys, snapping belts, blowing radiators, and warping gaskets. The infamous words on the Toyota Dealership’s diagnostic sheet, "new head gasket", threatened to end our trip before it started. This is what...
