there is a small problem with the rancho lift kit (if anyone is fitting them)
the rear spring shackle is not big enough and hits a bolt at the back of the car.
the kit doesn't come with one and of coarse there isn't any in Australia![sm=noooo.gif]
the people in America or Canada might be able to source them so it is not a problem for you.
But this clearly is a product fault?

 

Rancho has always been good at customer support. Give them a call and tell them what's wrong, I'm sure they will help.

 

great I will try to do something there but we only have a reseller here and there hasn't been to many lifted so the shackles are not here.

 

Seems to me, Rancho should FedEx you a pair of the correct shackles.

That's the sort of crap that would make me hopping mad.......

Get it, Skippy-Kangaroo-Hopping Mad............

(Sorry man, in my Advil addled, sleep deprived brain....That **** was funny)

 

Hi - I got the Rancho lift and just switched the shackles with Jeep ones and all is good. I posted it here somewhere

 

Inked, how are you liking the kit these days?

 

thanks Inked for the info but my machanic is going to engineer them up
couldn't bear the thought of a jeep thing again lmao
I owned one a couple of years ago nothing but troubles the missus hated it

 

Dude it's just a shackle - lol!! It's not like an engine or drivetrain part that will take an engineer to think up, most guys here just weld their own shackles. Sorry bro, no offense. I love Jeeps and I love my Hummer, I owned a CJ7 back in the day and wheeled it and had no problems at all, in fact thinking of getting one to beat up on the trails.

 

I like it...lastweek I fixed mydriver sideCV shaft - broke it trying to climb this monster boulder - LOL! But all is good!

 

So what's your broken parts count at this point?

I thought you broke the passenger CV joint the first time?
