I didn't see that the ? was answered.

Does the frame need to be cut in order to install the Rancho 4" lift

Cut the frame?! That's crazy talk. What lifts require you to cut the frame?!

UMMMMMMM?

It would be my understanding that the Procomp 6" requires cutting the left side crossmember bracket.
I will research.

Brackets I can see, frame I cannot. I guess I took you a little to literally...

I still think the Rancho is a bolt-on. For the best answer, call 1-734-384-7804 or visit http://www.gorancho.com/techsupport.stm

I don't think the ProComp requires any cutting. I know the Fabtech does.

Thanks for the input. My main concern is that if I need to, return the suspension to its original for whatever reason. I.E. Warranty issues.
Thanks again

Lightbulb Is that your final answer?

OK,
Yes the fabtech requires cutting and drilling,
Yes the Procomp requires cutting and drilling,
AND
Thanks to Dzervits input and suggestion, I called Rancho and
YES the Rancho 4" requires cutting and drilling the same left side rear crossmember bracket as the others to install and, To return the suspension to the OEM specs you must retain this bracket and reweld it.
So there it is. Time for lunch
