I just got the Quicklift's (front) and RS9000's (rear) installed on my '04 4R sport last week. They ride soooooo much better then the old factory shocks. The Quicklifts gave my front a 1-3/4" lift, plus the adjustable ride option is great. The range of adjustability is actually much bigger than I thought, and you can quickly tell the difference. The one thing that I would recommend is getting the spacer for the rear RS9000's. You don't need much. Right now my ride is completetly level, but for some reason it looks like the front is slightly higher (but it isn't). Paid $625 for all four, but I'm getting $200 rebate + $100 Rancho gift card coming back. Let me know if you want to see some pictures of before and after.
Overextension with spacer lifts?

EXCELLENT!!!! Finally more info on this setup. I have air bags in the rear, I can adjust the rear to sit at any height desired. My concern is getting 1.75"+ in the front, I'll adjust the rear to level it out. I know what you're talking about on the looking higher in the front, that's one thing I won't have to worry about. If you can provide pics, that'd be great!
So here is my '04 V8 Sport with the Quicklift/RS9000's (stock tires). The pictures aren't the best but you can get the idea. I hit 90K and it would bottom out at each bump. Not good for a hunter...time for some new suspension. Decided on the Rancho's b/c I like the idea of adjusting them when I need it. I tow boats and the trailer in the picture, so I can crank them up around setting 8. Or I can get a soft ride on the highway around 2-3. I also wanted to level out the rake.

Thanks for the pics! Do you know the model number of the shocks you have? Rancho has both a 1.5" and 2" kit for the FJ. Both will fit our 4runners. Also, where did you get yours for that price? I actually was going to pull the trigger today, but they're no longer on the site I was going to order from. I'm rethinking the quicklift setup and considering the regular ones with a spacer. It'll be cheaper and definitely provide the lift I want.

I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts. If you find a cheap internet price on them, take it to AAP's and they will price match (w/free shipping). They also have the buy 3 get 1 free special with them, so it came out to be about a $200 rebate. They also have the Rancho "My Ride" gift card rebate which is $100 on this setup. I would also look at the specification sheet on Rancho's website. It will show all the specification info on the products when installed on the 4Runner. Go to the bottom of their home page and click on the "2010-2011 Master Catolog". Then download the 2010-2011 Master Catolog Supplement (Specifications Chart). Look for the Quicklift Loaded and 4Runner. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I was planning to order from them, but they've taken those part numbers off their site and they're customer service won't give any info. I had them added to my cart, came back a little later, and no longer available. The reason I wanted part numbers is because there are two different kits, one is for 1.5" lift and the other 2" lift.

quick lift
i know this is alittle old but i was just thinking about the quick lifts and have been actually wondering about the tacoma kits on rancho's site they offer 2.75 worth of lift. but im wondering if i stack a 1in spacer on top of that??? but on the other hand seems like alot of money for still under 4in's of lift at the price of 400ish for the fronts might as well shell out another 200 for coil overs i suppose.

Short answer is I think you can do much better for the money. What would this be going on?

my 05 4runner, but now im thinkin about it im wondering if tacoma front springs are taller then fj springs? seems it might be the case since where i live theres a few fjs that have lifts and probably about 10 tacomas with lifts and im one of the only 4runners ive seen in my area so far. and with my set-up being fj springs and and shocks with the fj spacer and my 3in/1.25 lift im even with the fj's but the tacoma's still look like they have some height on me. the tacomas seem to fit 33's with the same 3in lift with ease and no trimming not to mention we share the same wheels well design.
