Anyone have the Rancho 4" lift?

I had my new rims and tires mounted today and as the truck was on the lift I felt the urge to do something more than just leveling kit. Contemplating getting the Rancho 4" lift since I am only running 33's and use it for work in and out of the bed a lot!

If you have the 4"er please post some pics.

Slim - from what I have read, the Rancho is pretty expensive for what you get. I know many have expressed interest in it, but don't think anyone has dropped the coin as of yet. I'd love to have one!

EDIT: So where are your pics of the new rubber?

For running 33s all you need is a leveling kit. You don't even need the 2.5" one, you can fit them with the 1.5"

The 4" Rancho is more for 35s. IMO 33s would look small

No need for a leveling kit for 33''. I had 33'' with aftermarket rim (5'' back spacing) and everything was fine. No rubbing at all, even while off-roading.

I don't need to level the truck as I am running stock setup with 33's right now. But when I saw the truck on the lift with my current rims and tires it looked WAY better. I talked to my brother and the 4" is like $200 more than the 6" kit which is retarted. I am going to either just do the 5100 leveling struts with some sort of AAL in the rear/supersprings or leave it alone for now. I will post up pics in a new thread for the rims and tires for everyone to see.

Only seen the pics of the 4in kit on the Rancho website, but it looks like a kicka$$ lift, although the price is kinda steep compared to other lift options out there. Would love to see some pics of someones install as well...
