Rancho 4"

[arkalpha]

Has anyone delt with a company called PCS Custom Automotive. They seem to have a pretty good deal on Ebay for the Rancho 4"----I did say seems.

You're right both of their adds (1 with shocks $2520 shipped and 1 without shocks $2120 shipped) are pretty good deals compared to $3300. It shows that they have 100% feedback too..........hmmmmm interesting

Yeah it is looking like a pretty good deal, I'm just curious about the company. It's a lot of coin and I haven't dealt with them before.

If in doubt I always Paypal !!!! (always got my money back if it went bad). A lot of credit cards over purchase insurance also........

Don't forget to budget another $2000 for new wheels/tires...(stock wheels won't fit the Rancho).

Price doesn't seem that far off IMHO, Autoplicity is $2108.70 and you can use a promo code

I paid $1200 for my Rancho new in the box with shocks. Put it on myself. Drove it for 2 years. Sold it for around $800 I think. Its a great kit...but anything over $3000, and you should seriously consider dumping the IFS and going SA. Most of all...Do It Yourself! You be amazed at how much you can learn by just diving-in.

 

[arkalpha]

I've put on a few IFS kits on myself( Toyo P/U and a 4 Runner). I dont have the tools or a shop thats available and I have a guy thats gonna swap labor and alignment at a dealership he works at for an old deer rifle that I never use.

 

[arkalpha]

Yeah I'm set on the wheels and tires. 17" with 4.75" B/S.

Didn't think about PayPal. Good idea thanks. I was just gonna use my regular credit card and let them worry about it if I had a problem.

You could IM me and just let me stew over it. I knew I should have ordered one a few months ago.

The Rancho kit requires a 4.5" or less back spacing

Let's just say it was considerably less than the Rancho kit.

I did also cut a lot of cost by buying wheel spacers so I could use my OEM wheels/tires.

Thanks. I totally looked at it wrong. I checked my wheels and I think they are 5.5" B/S. Looks like a set of wheel spacers need to be found since my wheels are only about 6 months old. I may rethink the whole thing. I'm old school and not a big supporter of spacers, but they may be a lot better now than they used to be.

What brand did you go with and have you had any trouble with them?

 

[06 H3]

I am using Motorsport tech spacers with are high quality and custom made to each vehicle using the correct size center bore etc.

 

[Hans3T]

:agree: Same.

I didn't see this..LOL. I just pm you. What did you settle on the 1.75 or 1.5" ?

 

[06 H3]

1.75 you can use 1.5 possibly 1.25 depending on offset and I will answer your PM in more detail when I am off my phone
