Ok, I'm looking into getting about a 4" lift for my 2006 Screw FX4. I've decided to go with a 4" lift and 33-34" tires. After reading a lot of threads here, I really don't want to go with a spacer because of the ball joint issues.

So my question is other than Rancho and RCD who offers a 4" lift. And from what I've heard the Rancho kit is actually more like a 5-6" lift. Is this true.

Ok thanks for the help.

 

I believe the RCD lift for the new trucks is actually a 6 inch lift also. You are right about the Rancho. A lot of members have reported getting 5 or 5.5 inches of lift from it. I assume if you buy a lift that have replacement coilovers with adjustable preload, you will have a little adjustability in your ride height

 

no the rancho is 4" 5-6 after u add the bigger tires maybe but i contacted rancho on this issue and they said no its 4". just go with them its a great kit and just what u need.

 

Yeah I was thinking that too, but a lot of people on this site have said otherwise. If you are right, that is perfect. Exactly what I need and much cheaper than the RCD.

 

I'm going to have to agree with allrsdup on this one. I always thought it was funny how guys said yeah i got 6 inches but they measures with tires.

 

your could go with superlift who has a 4.5" lift also.
i dont know how great superlift is but jusst another option to go with
i say rancho with 35's.

 

I parked next to a truck with a RANCHO, and it was the same height as mine....

 

Rancho 6 inch or 4?

 

Ranch only makes a 4"...

 

mmmhm Are you sure it was rancho? and are you sure he wasnt using a body lift? And maybe the size of the tires helped?

 

Sal had done the same to his truck as I with a Rancho, me a Fabtech. We're both running 37's. The rancho is a 6", I rub like hell with my Fabtech and haven't heard a peep from him.

 

not trying to call u out but how is that possible your sig. sais 6" fabtech +2.5" spacers thats 8.5 inches of lift?

either way when i called rancho they had said they heard the same thing people are saying they are getting more then 4". but they said they had the truck outside with there kit on and with 35's iwas 5.5 inches biigger then stock sooo that is from the horses mouth.

 

I was one of the members 'claiming' 5-5 1/2" of lift with the Rancho. But if you guys can remember when I first got my Rancho kit, I only had my 33s on it.

2WD so its even to what a 4WD would be.

 

ok i didnt know it was 2wd

bye the way wby did u get rid of your other truck it was a nice ride?

 

Its okay, I was just trying to clear that up.

LONG story short, it was in the shop more than it was on the road. The mileage charges were going to be too bad to go the Lemon Law route so with a LOT of pressure on the dealer they got me into a brand new 2006 for no cost except I lost my lift, wheels, and tires which was a lot less than the mileage charges.
