Cool, now I'm a superhero!!!
Seriously James, I thought we took care of all this
hostility last time we talked.
If you re-read my post, you'll see there was NOTHING
(written or implied to be) negative about you or Rancho. I
told you I currently have a Rancho kit on my Ramcharger,
they make great stuff. Peter never even said anything
negative about the kit, he just stated the brackets looked
stronger on the TC kit.
If you can get beyond all this I'd actually like to know
some things about the Rancho kit. I tried to get Rancho to
send me the installation manual, but they never would. The
Lower control arm brackets you refer to serve as suspension
travel limiters (bump stops). How does Rancho limit the
suspension travel since they don't have these. (I am
seriously interested in knowing this--No sarcasm) Since
you said I never address the fact that these brackets hang
down on the TC kit, it's because I didn't think I needed
to, because it is "fact". They do hang down. Am I crazy
about it? No. Does it really concern me? No. I was always
taught to put the tires ON the obstacles and not STRADLE
them. Plus the 10 Ga. Stainless skid plate I have being
built should take care of the problem.
What area are you in? I think we should hook up and go
wheeling. Off-roaders have enough enemies and don't need
to be fighting amongst ourselves.
At the very least, we both drive really cool trucks.

PS: I didn't even know who the "poor girl" was (still
don't), she responded on her own. The post wasn't even
directed at her.
