Rancho 4" suspension lift

berteras · February 2, 2012

Anyone have any experience or opinions on these? I am looking to put a lift on my truck and I seem to be leaning towards the Rancho kit for some reason. I've read that their 4" kit gives 6 inches of lift and I am wondering if anyone can confirm this because I am attempting to get 6 inches of lift and run 35's. Also, if anyone has this lift, how level did it come out after installation? Thanks for any help

Rancho will give you 5-5.5". If you want 35's look to BDS, Fabtech, Etc.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just starting my research so I appreciate any help. I am looking at those too, just favored the rancho a little. So it isn't possible to run 35's with the rancho even with some trimming? The fabtech gives about 8" of lift doesn't it?

What lift do you have blackout?

Is it possible? Yes...with some healthy trimming. 35's will rub even with the Fabtech, which is closer to 8". I have a 6" BDS + 1" leveling kit + 3" body lift, for a total of 10" with 35's.

Do you have the basic fabtech lift or the performance one?

There was a guy awhile back that put 35's on stock wheels and he said it didn't rub. I have 33's on aftermarket wheels with a conservative offset and I rub, no way 35's would work for me. I was thinking of ordering the skid plates and saw that the Rancho 4" and shocks are 20% off plus free shipping right now http://4wheelonline.com/Rancho-Suspension-Lift-Kits.20009, not a bad price right there if you're interested.

Thanks for the post, I actually ran across that website yesterday. Before I bought my 20's and 305/50/20 tires, I had all terrains on my stock rims that were a height of 32.6" and I never had a problem with them rubbing with stock height and a leveling kit so kinda hard to understand how a 33 would rub with an additional 4" of lift. I am just gonna go with a 6" lift so I can run 35's. I am reading as much as I can and trying to find the best one for around or under $2,000. I'm looking at the Fabtech, BDS, Superlift, Pro-comp and Zone right now. I am not in a rush so I plan on taking my time picking one out.
