You can't beat Pro Comp on the value factor though, plus you can run Bilstein 5100 front-5150 rear, and have the awesome (functional too) skid plate for roughly the price of a Fabtech or Rancho. Couple more pics of my truck for ya





I'd love to see what a Rize, Fabtech or Rancho crossmember (or the small skid plate) would look like after slamming down on top of a rock and have no other way to get out other then just skidding across the damn thing (gotta love AZ ). Lets just say I love my skid plate

to add to that when i was running over some cars at a show, i hit my front drop down bracket and scratched it all up sucks

Damn I wish I would have never even looked on here. Makes me HATE my truck. I have to drive mine for at least one more year and then I am going king ranch or fx4 at the least and going all the way !!! very nice rides people. I still don't understand why you would lift a 2wd though.

There's no reason to hate your truck. Almost everyone wishes they had bought something slightly different. Whether it be a lift or the truck itself. You just have to transform your truck into something that makes you happy. These things take time.

If I have it right it is
6" Fabtech lift
Fabtech cranked up 1.5"
Stock tires 32", My tires 35" so 1.5" difference

totals to 9"

Technically you are correct but no one really adds in tires for amount of lift. Also, how is that you have a 4.5 inch block? Did you get it custom made? Only asking cause fabtech lifts come with a 5" block (4x4).

I may have measured the block wrong. I measured from bolt center to bolt center. I bought the truck with the lift on it, so had to figure out stuff on my own. And not being well versed on suspensions does not help. As far as adding in the tires, I need every inch I can get

Thanks for the help.

Rancho lifts come with a 4" block so unless he changed it out I'm sure that's what he has

Why does it seem the 4" rancho lifts seem just as high as the procomp or fabtech 6" lifts?

They almost are. Most Rancho's are around 44" (give or take) to the top of the center of the wheel well where Pro Comp's and Fabtech's are 45". Rancho's run about an inch bigger (seeing that if it were a true 4" the top of the wheel well would be 43" w/35's since stock 4x4's are around 37.5" from the factory-37.5"+4"=41.5"+1.5" for the 35's=43") then advertised
