Rancho

Im new to this posting stuff, but i was wondering if anybody was running the 4" Rancho lift on a 97-03?? If not does anyone know if this lift will allow for 35x13.5x18 tires? If this will not work, what is my best option to fit this tire?

I would say your best bet to fit 35's would be a 3inch performance accesories body lift and to crank your torsion bars. You will have to trim a little on your lower valance but its a small task. You can clear your 35's. Thats they setup i have.

your BEST bet is a 6in suspension lift. body lifts lift the body off the frame, but dont actually lift the frame. suspension lifts give you that better ground clearance with your frame, and you have no gaps. you also will get more lift out of it and wont have to crank and stress your T-bars, and no need to worry about rubbing or trimming etc. im sure you could fit them under a 5" suspension lift too, i think RCD makes one.

i suggest calling rancho and asking them what tire/rim size combos will work best. if you want 35s they will probably tell you to get rims that are 8-9" wide with a decent amount of backspacing to avoid major rubbing. but yes it should work fine.

It will work. You will have to trim the front bumper's lowr plastic valance slightly however.
