You're kidding yourself if you think this would actually work to make an IFS lift kit.

 

I'd be careful about sayung things online as You're setting yourself for a lawsuit with what you just said!
But on a different note, rancho was approached before and they said they need a super large order to cover the costs of making it or be paid a large sum to sell the rights. This talk was 2 years ago, before rancho "cleaned" their warehouse and found 20 incomplete kits laying around and sold em in a fortnight so who knows...

 

I think if they just started making them, the super huge order would fill itself. They should try it and see if I'm right They'd have my money, that's for sure!

 

Take a drive to Monroe,MI and try to convince someone at Tenneco.
You will learn mission impossible too from their P&L statement from the first time around. It has been very well stated before by Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.

 

Tennco.. hmmm didn't even think of that.... I'm sure that alone could send us to "Legends of fall"... Just josh'n.
Money is king. If they can make green backs I'm sure they do it lol.

 

Well back in 2015, they said they will keep making the kit for a long time, come september 2015 and the kit is discontinued! Last month they sold the remaining 20 incomplete kits in a few days, if they didnt notice the demand then, most probably they never will!

 

Was thinking about picking up another hummer H3 for a winter and trail ride we had an 07 about 4 years ago I loved it wife hated it (Said it felt like it took the entire lane to drive she didn't like how wide it seemed) So it was traded in for some Stupid Toyota lol. (She still has that thing and I hate it) But neither here nor there I was thinking id lift it and put 35's on it like my buddies but have been unable to find a kit this thread just told me why for sure!
Id be in line to get one if they made them so to me it looks like a lot of people really would still be purchasing them if they were available..
So we shall see seems 33's are about it stock and they rub some off road. Super Capable trucks just need a little bit more Ground Clearance for the trails we run up north here in Michigan. Lots of Jeeps now on 37's tearing up the trails.

 

Actually, I can run everything I've seen in MI on 305s (33's with same width as 35's) with rock rails, U Bolt Skidz and UCP. 99% of the time if you get hung-up it is because you chose a bad line, angle of attack, or did not build in a jab of momentum at the right place to slide over. The need for a lift kit is about zero, most people slap them on something so it looks "cool". Done that 30+ years ago on various rigs when I was a kid.

Like the famous rabbit said, Lift Kits are for kids.

 

I just contacted Tenneco about the Rancho lift kit. Now, I wait to see what they have to say. A little Juvenile, I know. Strangely satisfying.

 

Gl with that! Your inquiry will be filed with the minority report.
Tenneco owns many manufacturer's of quality products that I have installed for over 30yrs.
Great increase in revenue over last few years, however their profit decreases:
