Rancho vs Old Man Emu?

[LCStve]

Planning to do a simple lift on my 2017 LC200, around 1-2 inches

Which is better in terms of Overall performance and Ride Quality?

Old Man Emu (Coils and NitroCharger) or Rancho Quicklift Loaded?

a. LC200 is fully stock.
b. I drive mostly on city/highway roads. So I need stability/control on higher speeds.
c. I don't carry heavy loads. Just 2-3 passengers sometimes

1. Rancho is adjustable
2. Old Man Emu, I've read on a some website reviews, the ride is on the stiffer side - Does a stiffer ride mean harsh (decrease in comfort)? or does it mean better performance during high speeds?

Kindly help me decide before I push thru with the lift.

Thanks

I've not seen Rancho suspension kits/parts for the 200?

Based on past experience, when I had Ranchos on my 4Runner it rode stiffer than when I had the OME Nitrochargers on it. OME is always going to be my choice over the Ranchos.

Ranchos products for 40's are no were near as good as OME. I have run OME on my 80, 100 and now 200. Also on my daughters 80, 100, 4runner and 120's. Point being lots of experience with OME and no issues

I just put the Ironman FCP's on my 2015. Pretty firm ride and more like 3-3.5" of lift. I'm hoping mine settles down a bit, otherwise I'll have to adjust the front down a bit and find a spring for the rear that nets me closer to 2".

Mine were like that too. They will settle; no fear. Btw, how's your 40 project coming? I remember seeing for post a few updates on Arfcom a few years back.

Rancho would be a non player IMHO....

OME, Icon, Ironman or Bilsteins all have a track record ..... your goal with the truck and budget ?

The IM foam get good reviews for the $ - Icon has several options - very happy with mine. as are most others.

Still working on it! Painter was supposed to come give me an estimate this week but didn't show up.
Lots more pics in the build thread in my sig line.
