you may want to look in the "tech libary" for more info on "levling kits" and the "lift" section.

in short, will the break on a pansey trail,proably not,and Im sure some have even bashed on them. are they the best way to go ...no.

and I also think that price of 90 bucks is a bit high for what your getting.

bought a set of leveling block through Ebay & there from fatbobsgarage & I only paid less then $60 shipped, same product & material as Daystar,Terraflex & Spidertraxs, I beleive there might even be a few more manufactures out there or just companies puttting there names on the product.

I havent installed mine yet though

I would personaly install new coils if you have the money. I took the cheap route and installed spacers at first. Had a horribly stiff ride compared to what it was and they eventually became "squished" until they split in half and started to compress. Needless to say i now have SJ 2" coils and will never again install spacers. These ride way better than the spacer and i dont have to worry about them splitting on me. But if you are low in cash, i would go to the tech library and check out the washers stacked as a spacer that would be more reliable than the daystar spacers IMO

with new SJ coils would i have to buy new shocks or could i still use the Rancho shocks i already have installed?

I bought just the coil spacers from Fat Bob's on Ebay for about $50. They also came with the stud extenders shown in your link. When I first ordered them and recieved them, the stud extenders were missing, so I e-mailed them and they were at my door within 2 days, along with a free T-Shirt.

How do they hold up? Well, I'm no hardcore offroader by any means, and I mainly use my truck as a daily driver, but they put up with the occaisional corn field and jaunt through the woods.

Installation? It was pretty straight forward and simple, but I did have to cut about 3/4" off of my stock stud to get the shoulder on the extenders to sit far enough down to bolt the clamp back on.

You could still use your ranchos.
