I figured I would give you guys an update/some info regarding the H3 rancho lift. I stopped by the rancho booth at the off road expo and asked about the lift. I was sent to another guy and he seemed like the head honcho. I didn’t catch his name but he said they have to make 1000 knuckles at a time and that is the issue/expensive part. They did an 1000 unit run and it took them years to blow through the inventory.
He said he loved that kit and he’s always getting people asking about bringing it back. At this point I would say keep bugging rancho. He never said there are no plans to bring it back but not at this moment. I did mention that it took a while to blow through kits due to the fact that the vehicle was new and people weren’t willing to modify them like they do now. He agreed to that point.
While I have no use for a rancho lift at this point since all my factory parts are off in a dumpster somewhere I still loved that kit and have nothing but positive things to say about it. I think it’s a viable option and greatly increases off road prowess. I think it’s possible to see it’s return but it won’t be tomorrow. Keep politely bugging rancho!
Lastly, if they ever do bring it back try to be ready to jump on it! Nothing is more frustrating for a manufacturer to listen to their customers and then they don’t take action when the manufacturer did....
