mine is just at 42 inches, but i still have the stock 20's/tires on it. yes you can run the oem fx4 rims. putting it on yourself? it yeilds about 5.5 inches of lift, not the 4 inches they advertise.

Hmmmm, I got exactly 4" of lift from mine.

My measurements are 43.75" for the front and 44.25" for the rear. This is with my 35" Toyo M/Ts.

I see that WowakFX4 is running a leveling kit on top of the rancho life how safe is that and think if i was to do it would i have to get different shocks than the rs9000 i think thats what the kit comes with

I'm pretty sure running a leveling kit with the Rancho would be like running a leveling kit stock, since the Rancho kit keeps the angles as they were stock. I've heard some say 5.5" from the Rancho and others say 4", so I went out and measured mine.... I wrote down what I had before I put the lift on, which included a 2.5" leveling kit. Assuming the leveling kit gave me the advertised 2.5" from stock, my Rancho install would have been a little more than 5" of lift (additional height from tires is not included). Wish I had measured my truck when it was completely stock to see what it really was... oh well!!

Also, I think the RS9000 are some pretty nice shocks. I like being able to adjust them... though I pretty much put them in the middle and have been on that setting since then.

I agree, in that pic it does look much higher, but it must be the angle of the camera or the angle of something else that exaggerates it in the pic... because it really doesn't look like that in person or in other pics that are on my website. The truck sits pretty level... maybe just a little bit higher in the back.

give josh a call at sportztrailers or something like that. hes a member on here crash_lucky_13, his price will be any other with shocks guaranteed. he hooked me up with my shocks for my kit, smoking deal.
