Just went and snapped one. I went with the Rancho kit as I heard too many people complaining about the additional sag when they added a bumper/winch with the Daystar kit. The updated springs should prevent that and keep it pretty much where it is now.
I’m highly considering the rancho 1.5 for my Sport S max tow. Sitting on 33x12.5x17. Would you recommend it for light off roading. Did you change out control arms or track bar ? ThanksSport S and did the Rancho 1.5" Level it! kit...going to add a 3/4" spacer in the rear as I belive it sits a bit high in the front. this photo makes it seem like there's more front end lift as it generally looks perfectly level, but I have about 400lbs of concrete bags in the bed:
It's been great so far. Nothing was changed other than the shocks/springs/bump stops and sway bar end links (all included in the kit). I went with the RS5000 shocks due to previous experience with those shocks on a Wrangler JKU. You may want to look at the RS9000 as they're adjustable.
Thanks for your input. I have the rancho 5000x on my TJ and they have worked out great. I did install a rancho quick lift on a Sierra that I’ve now sold that came with the 9000 adjustable rancho shocks and tbh I could not feel much a difference when I set them from soft to hard setting when I was trying to fine tune them but I could tell the rear 9000 shocks were far superior than the stock shocks I removed.It's been great so far.

So measuring from ground to bottom of the fender is probably not a good representation of level, I don’t believe the fenders are the same height when the truck is actually sitting level. My front fender height was about 1-1.5” higher when it was level. You need a consistent measuring point on the frame or maybe at the front and rear edge of the pinch seams to tell if the truck is sitting level. With my front fenders higher with my level, my pinch seam was dead on front to rear.Thanks for the input guys i ended up finding that most people ended up adding or wanting the additional 3/4” in the rear so just went ahead with the 1” to give me a little bit of wiggle room(exactly 1/2” lower in front) when carrying/towing heavy loads. Came out awesome!
