Calling Rancho 4" Lift Guys!

Hey Rancho guys,
Just before Christmas, I closed a deal for a NIB Rancho 4" lift, complete with shocks for $650! Found the deal on Craigslist! Anyway, do any of you have pics of your Rancho lift with 33" tires? I am aware of most of you Rancho guys and all of your current pics show your 35's (looks great BTW), but I won't be in the market for new rubber for another year or so. I wanted to find out how good/bad the lift looks with 33's. I have Helo Max 6's with Nitto Terra Graps.

thanks for any pics!

it comes in 4 boxes.
just the subframe is almost 80 pounds, 2 knuckles, each boxed separately, and a hardware box that is way heavier than it looks

Buying or trading for 35's is not an option right now so I am interested in what the 33's will look like with this lift. If it looks crappy, then I will hold off installing the kit till I need the new rubber...or if a deal falls in lap.

well i don't know where your shipping it from and then too. i do know this, to make a long story short, rancho overnighted me early am delivered of a new subframe, my first one didn't fit i got damaged in shipping, thanks fed ex, anyway from cali to wisconsin overnight early was 479 bucks i would say an EASY 200 bucks for shipping. i don't have the pics anymore but i was running the stock 20's for a few weeks and it looked retarded. just remember if your're missing anything it could get damn pricey buying parts.

4" Rancho with 305/65/R18's (33.7"):

4.5" Superlift with 33's:

Hope these fellas don't mind me posting a link to their gallery...

To be honest, if I had to do it all over again I would have gotten a set of 305/65/R18 BFG's. They look perfect IMO.
