Rancho 4inch lift and level opinions..

i will be installing a 4inch rancho lift of my truck which most users claim to get 5inch's out of, and then on top of that i will be putting a 1.5inch AS leveling kit and a 1.5inch rear lift shackle. so hopefully i will be close to 6.5inch's. i got the rancho 4inch lift for $340, the shocks(RS5000) for $375, AS for $75.95, and the lift shackle for 86.95. so all in all its cost me roughly 900 dollars. plus alignment which i have no idea what that will be, but all the labor i will be doing.

i just wanted some feed back and people opinions on what im installing if anyone has done it and has any pointers or things to look out for.

also what tires should i run? i currently have 33/13.5/18's but want to get 35/12.5's or bigger (if i can fit them) but i dont know exactly if i can go any larger than a 35. a 37 would be sweet but i feel it might be close. anyways thanks for looking and let me know!

i also attached some pictures of the stuff im putting on.

you will be able to fit 35 fine at all. acually anything smaller would look funny imo. there are plenty of users on here that are just leveled with 35's.

The Rancho is a great lift, I love mine. It should look really good! Installation wasn't that hard, I did mine in mid winter in my garage. Please post some pics when this is done! I really would like to see how it looks

I think a wide 35 inch tire like a 325/65-18 (33x13.00) would look great.

Been wondering what happened to your lift! Post pics when you're all done. I am thinking about doing the 1/5" AS as well but not till next year or so.
