What’s the easiest way to add a lift to your vehicle? I’m sure this is what Rancho asked themselves which eventually lead to the design of the quickLIFT. The quick lift is both a suspension lift and a high-performance shock absorber built into one unit and is the fast way to raise your vehicle.

The quick lift shock was engineered for the specific vehicle it will be installed on. This means they’re not a one-size-fits-all product. quickLIFT shocks provide as much as 2.5-inches of lift in addition to superb driving quality and comfort.

Quick lift shocks provide lift through a simple engineering concept of preloading the coil spring. Preloading pushes the suspension downward (away from the chassis) thus resulting in lift — true suspension lift.

quickLIFT shocks are the latest innovation of the myRIDE family of Rancho suspension dampening which means they feature the same 9-position adjustable shock absorbency as the RS9000XL line of shocks. The adjustment options are plentiful: soft for freeway driving, firm for off-road driving, mid-range for towing or hauling. The choice is all yours.

Being part of the myRIDE family also means they’re compatible with the Rancho RS999705 myRIDE wireless remote control so you can adjust them without exiting the vehicle.

This quickLIFT shock offers several advantages.

* They reuse vehicle’s factory coil spring. There’s no need to buy additional parts and retains much of the factory drive quality because the ride is still dependent on the factory spring.

* Quickly and easily provides up to 2.5-inches of lift. In many applications, this levels the front of the vehicle with the rear and allows the fitment of larger tires without the need of a full, differential-drop or axle-drop suspension lift.

* Adjustable shock absorbency with nine levels of firmness.

* Cutting or welding is not required like some suspension lifts.

* Easy enough to be installed by the “backyard mechanic” and installation typically takes a few hours.

If you’re looking to add some height to your vehicle without the expense of a fully engineered suspension lift, then be sure to give Rancho a look.

Warn Industries is a northwest based company that has always provided high quality products for the off road marketplace. Their winches have been the gold standard for years. Over the years, as their product line has advanced, they have done a respectable job of keeping their output at an excellent level both for recreational users and industrial applications. The Warn Premium manual hubs are no exception to that.

In contrast to other products in the market, Warn manual hubs are an all-metal construction that includes a thicker internal wave spring to be certain that they stay engaged. For people who take the term “off road” seriously, this is a major attribute to their rig.

Whether it is the Rubicon trail or a more local excursion, failure is not an option when civilization has been left behind. With this in mind, Warn rightfully applies the title “premium” in their premium manual hub line. As usual they over-build and engineer to a specification that includes tolerances that meet or exceed anything likely to be thrown at them.

The Warn Premium manual hubs utilize a 9/10 turn on the dial to engage or disengage. This removes any doubts that the lock has been set or released. The Premium line differs from the OEM options in a number of ways. Foremost is the use of the ZA27 alloy dial with additional seals. This provides the user a higher level of protection against contaminants. Top all that with an all-metal construction and a lifetime warranty and the end result is a product that offers good value while leaving no questions about its “Premium” label.

As a company that is known for setting industry standards, Warn Industries is the undisputed “leader of the pack” with their Warn premium manual hub line.

Warn hubs are compatible with all the major domestic and imported auto manufacturers with some products that will install on vehicles from as far back as the fifties or even the more esoteric vehicles from International Harvester and such. Regardless of the vehicle you want to take out in an off road trek, the Warn Premium manual hub offerings will give you the performance and dependability that you need.

Ford owners can get Warn hubs F250 parts for their trucks if they want the best in reliability and durability for any 4WD use. The Ford manual hub line also includes parts for the Bronco, F-series trucks, and Super Duty.

It is easy to see why the Jeep has consistently been a popular vehicle with the public. The various Jeep models represent freedom and adventure, all while remaining fabulous road cars. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one such model that has caught the public’s attention and been a very good seller since it was released. The enduring love affair with the Jeep Grand Cherokee is down to two factors. Firstly, it promises sporty performance with powerful and punchy engine options. Secondly, it has a domineering road presence which is assuredly nimble in the corners.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has also been priced extremely reasonably in comparison to other 4X4 vehicles available, which has also ensured it a loyal fan base in this country. There are many societies and forums that Jeep owners write for and arrange meetings. These meetings are normally an excuse to take the Jeep (a vehicle which is probably more used to doing the school runs) up and down dirt tracks in the countryside. The majority of Jeep owners probably have no idea of what their vehicle is capable of until they take them to one of these meetings and give them a good testing.

When choosing a vehicle it is important to take into consideration how much support you will get for other members of the public on things like internet forums etc… Occasionally you will find a piece of advice which proves invaluable and could save you costly trips to the garage. You will find this to be exactly the case if you invest in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I visited a few forums to ask the members why they chose Jeep:

“Jeep models are the perfect all-terrain vehicles that also provide great everyday driving.”

So there you go; a testament from a very happy owner indeed. Having driven one myself, I would tend to agree wholeheartedly that The Jeep deserves its fan club.
