With the Rancho 4" Suspension system, how is my ride going to be affected. Will i lose my cornering ability? How about smoothness? I am new to lifting trucks/vehicles, and am just trying to figure out which way to go.

I HAVE A 4" TRAILMASTER LIFT ON MY 1997 4X4 WITH 285/75/16 AND MY TRUK RIDES SMOOTHER THAN STOCK! AND MUNCH MORE FUN TO DRIVE.YOU CAN SEE MY TRUCK AT WWW.SKIIIBOAT.COM

 

is that a suspension lift? or a body lift?

how about cornering, do u have to take them slower?
i drive my truck a little (more like A LOT) quick, and i would hate to have to worry about rolling it anymore than i already do!

what kind of other mods have you done, thats a nice truck!

 

Coolsvile, I have to agree with skiiiboat, mine rode better than stock but that has mostly to do with the better shocks that are used. Stock shocks are not very good. Your handling will not be as good because your center of gravity is higher but you can compansate a bit with better shocks and aftermarket swaybars.
Lift it.....you'll love it!!

another question:
when they say 4" lift, is that at all for corners, or 4 up front and like say 2 in the back to level her out?

4" upfront and either a 2" add-a-leaf,which comes with most lift kits and levels the truck out but give a rougher ride or 3" blocks which give it a stock stance,rear being a tad higher and more of a stock ride. Another option for the rear is to go with replacment spring packs.

 

ITS A 4" LIFT KIT I GOT FROM SUMMIT RACEING.IAM GOING TO PUT A 3' BODY LIFT TOO,THEN WHEN I CAN GET THE MONEY 35' TIRES AND RIMS,NEED TO PAY TO HAVE ALL THE GREARS CHANGED,$2800 TO DO! GOOD LUCK
