So I've finally finished installing the Rancho QuickLift struts up front along with new Moog ball joints and tie rod ends. I put Rancho spacers on the new rear Armada springs also. The rear actually sits at 1.75" above what the Nissan service manual says, so the spacers actually lift as advertised. However, the QuickLift struts up front don't lift as much as I'd hoped they would. The front wheel arches measure about 3/4" less than the rear. I am considering trying
these spacers on top of the QucikLifts. They come with new spined bolts and 20mm is just a hair over 3/4". Has anybody tried pulling the studs out of the top of their struts? Am I crazy for wanting to try this? I would only be at about 2 to 2.25" of lift up front with the spacers on.
Also why the heck are Racho's rear shocks for a 1.75" lift the same length as the stock shocks? Shouldn't they be a little longer at least? I'm considering cutting the bottom shock mount off and moving it up an inch or more. Suggestions?
