rancho in cab kits

Hey all, any one here done or know if it can be done to rig up a rancho in cab kit with some extra valves and stuff so not only doing front/back adjustment it will do side/side as well, been thinking about it for a while but never seen a kit in the flesh to see all the gear and what it would take to do it

thought it might be a good option for when your on a bit of a side slope you can just stiffen it up a tad on the down side

i know your spring rates control the majority of it as the shock are only dampners but it would still help take a bit of the lean out

any info or help would be great

cheers sean

it would be easy to do with two kits then just put a y in each so front on one unit is front left, front on the other unit in front right etc. use the one compressor fro both.

also shocks are not at all load bearing especially on side slopes unless you drive a section pretty fast and have one side on 1 the other 5. that said you would be mad to drive an off camber fast relying on your shocks to sort it out!

why not just rig a normal unit to do left right rather than front / back, that will be fine for most trucks.
