hey was looking to purchase a suspension lift for my truck. i am new at this but is there any 4 inch kits that will allow for the stock wheels to still be used? cause well i can only afford the lift right now lol. any help would be great thanks.

 

the 4" rancho is the only kit that allows you to use stock wheels. but your looking about $1800 for the lift and shocks. shocks do not come with the lift, some sites add shocks i believe not sure tho.

but what you pay for that you can buy a pro comp, about $1300 shipped on ebay, and that will leave you $500 for your wheels fund, and you can sell your stockers usually for a few hundred. i got $510 for my 18" xlt chrome package wheels with tire that had about 5-6000 miles on them. i used ebay to sell them. so depending on wheels/tires you might be able to sell them to recover some money.

 

what year truck?

 

RANCHO 4" WITH THE GOOD 9000 SHOCKS FOR $1500. ACTUALLY GIVES YOU ABOUT 5 1/2" OF LIFT AND YOU CAN USE YOUR STOCK WHEELS.

 

my trucks an 03 xlt long bed super cab 4x4. i got the 16 inch alloys with all seasons on them well thats what came on the truck. they r prolly 70 % tread left. michelin tires. and i got some stealies for the winter just cause they came with it. so you say the 4 inch rancho will allow for stock wheels? im from Nova Scotia Canada and headin to florida a week from today, was wonderin if there was any places down there i should check for a suspension lift, im headin to kissimmie, orlando florida. thinkin i might get one cheaper down there jsut dont no where to go thats all thxs for the help guys.

 

This is not a concern for the 97-03 trucks, only the 04-08's. The OEM wheels on the 97-03's have 4.5 inches of backspacing which is the same bs almost all aftermarket wheels have.

 

the RCD lift will allow for stock wheels... and you can choose between 4" or 6" settings, due to the front bilsteins. i know this because i use mine to get my alignments done. however, this is with stock tires, so im not sure what you would be limited to with a wider tire. my guess is probably like a 10.5 width or so. if you put on wheel spacers, you could get away with the stansard 12.5 width.

BUT.... for the price of the RCD, you could get a pro-comp stage 1 lift, AND a set of new wheels.

 

He has an 03 which has a completely different suspension system than the 04-09's.

 

could somebody help me out with the best place to purchae the 4 inch rancho suspension lift?

 

ebay would be good. or if you're planning on drivin through North Carolina, there is a shop here in Raleigh (which is off of I-40 and is literally right next to Raleigh ~ 2 minutes outside of downtown) that could get it and do it for you. I take my truck to these guys for offroad related stuff. They are really good!

Hope this helps

 

I had an 04 supercrew. I put the Rancho 4 in suspension and ran the factory wheels with 35x1250x18 BFG MTs. It worked perfect. I have an 06 now that i am starting to work on.

 

Once again.

 

Have you decided what you're going to do yet?

 

well im flyin south in about 8 hours to orlando florida so im gonna have a look there and c what prices they can come up with at there stores, hopefully cheaper lol. i was thinking of the 4 inch rancho but the 6 inch lifsts dont sound like a bad idea. ill be gettin back a week from tuesday so ill let u guys no if i bought anything and what the prices were and where it was from. if i dont get a lift down there then ill probably get performance stuff and purchase the lift in a little while after i get back. but thanks for the help guys ill keep you posted in a week. anymore ideas would be great. im kinda on a small budget and only looking for a small suspension lift with 35s and would like to keep the stock wheels for a while as of the budget. anywas thxs for the help guys ill be talkin.
