RCD or Rancho?

I have a 2003 F-150 supercab 4x4, I am currently running 295/70/17 Nitto terra Grapplers on Black 17x9 Helo Maxx 6 rims. I am now looking at adding a lift, I don't wat to go 6" as I think that would make my tires look small. I am looking at either the 4-5" RCD or the 4" Rancho. I like to go off road but this is also my daily driver so I would like something that performs well and give a smooth ride. Any advise that yall can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Robin.

97-03 F150 id choose RCD over Rancho easily.

On the new body styles Rancho would be an option.

The Fabtech is easily the best lift for that year model but the RCD and BDS kits arent far behind.

I personally would go with the Rancho only because of what I have heard about them.

The RCD is a better lift, but the Rancho isn't far behind. Either is a great a great choice.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'm going to go with the RCD, it seems to have lots of good reviews. Anyone have a guess on what this kit would cost including install. I'm hoping to stay under $2500.00 but I know it takes a long time to install.
