Thumbs up Finally - Rancho 4" lift

Maybe this has already been posted but I have not seen it here. I finally found the rancho 4" lift in a store.

http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/fd4_F150_09.htm

Here is a link to the gallery rancho has with this lift: http://www.gorancho.com/09f150.php

I googled Rancho rs6518b. Rocky was the cheaper of the two sites available. This is interesting - If my truck will fit in parking garage with the 4" lift I might just do this instead of a level kit.

What's a few more phone calls in the modification madness?

Also finding the rancho quicklift is now out for the 2009 f150.

Cheaper than I expected it to be too. This is the route I'm going to take with my truck. Post pictures if you decide to get the 4" lift installed.

That is what I thought as well BUT the kit does not include shocks. So - once you figure the shocks into the deal it is right up there with the rest of them.
So kit, plus shocks, plus install - a little sticker shock compared to the Autospring level kit -

I personally think the back is too high in some of those pics... I would like it if it was more level. Looks raked.

Looks pretty good, not too crazy about the red crossmember though

I'd prefer it to be slightly raked, up to an inch or so. However, the specs Rancho lists for their lift says that the front will be lifted a total of four inches and the rear will be lifted 2.5 inches, so it would probably be level.

Crossmember and other components will only be available in black as well. Probably painted red on the showcase vehicle to show off the components.

Rancho

Can you use your stock shocks with this kit? Could be a deal breaker for me too.

Yeah, I am looking into the Rancho lift now too. I had the Rancho 4-inch system on my '04 Tahoe Z71 and it looked and performed great. It is a well designed, quality system but pricey.

Other people have said that it actually raises the front 5.25".
