I am considering getting rid of the Quicklifts and going with a 4" lift, would like to see pics of other trucks set up with 4" and 35s before I make a choice. post up your pics if you would please...

I found one photo, and it is close enough for my use... I used google and it redirected me here. The site search function stinks...



From the post at https://www.f150online.com/forums/su...ancho-4-a.html

Here is another one...



And there is a black one on here that belongs to member muddyape with a 4" Rancho, his pics are in a gallery and I can't figure out how to link them...

It's the Rancho 4" and sadly Rancho doesn't seem to think there is a market for 2004-2008 F150 lifts any more... (idiot move but whatever...).

The rough country 4" is on sale for $1199.95 right now. Most likely + tax and S&H. Not terrible. Needs your existing struts to work but whatever...

http://www.roughcountry.com/ford-sus...it-577-20.html

In my case, I think I am going to try the Moog coils to see if I am happy with them ($80.00) and see what the total lift with the QLs / Moog combo is. IF I decide the QL / Moog combo rides great, but isn't quite out of the fenders enough, I will likely grab the Rough Country 4", and a set of Autospring 2" spacers and leave out the Rough Country 4" spacer.

Is RC a good lift? Reliable? Durable?

I honestly would prefer a Rancho, but they got out of the 2004-2008 lift business.

I have heard good things about Rough Country lifts in the past.

I think the 4" lifts look great on our generation

Me too, I've always been a Rancho fan. Almost bought an 08 flareside with a Rancho 4" but the phaser sounded horrible even at 70,000

There was a guy on here with a DSG truck with a 4" and 35s. Very knowledgeable fellow too. I forget his ID, it's been that long. Perhaps he has since sold it.

On a side note, will the Mrs be able to hop in it still? .

When we bought this truck (we were still just dating then...) we tried an FX4 with a 4" lift, she was okay with it, but I didn't like the crew cab / stubby bed. She was quite clear on her opposition to a 6" lift though... A bit too tall for her. She also says the step bars have to stay on so she can get up in it...
