Rancho 4' lift

anyone have one on? If you don't mind telling how much did you pay to have it installed? I am trying to decide if I want one or not.

If I was you, I would just go with a 6 inch. You can get several different 6 inch kits for less than the rancho 4 inch. I believe Rough Country is the cheapest 6 inch kit

A friend of mine has one on his truck, and i think it cost between 2000-2200 for him. i know that i was set on buying the rancho for my truck and then i saw that for a little bit more i could have a 6". I was also afraid that i'd end up having a cali look whenever i had anything in the bed because the block on the rancho lift just keeps it level.

The rancho kit is a quality kit no doubt, but i regret not getting a 6" lift so i could bump it up to 8". The rancho kit will allow you to run stock wheels though which comes in handy in the winter. I bought mine used for $1000 and installed it myself.

I bought the Rancho 4" kit for $1500 new, including the 9000XL shocks, and installed it myself. It actually lifts 5". I will never regret not going higher. It still fits in my garage.

I personally wish I woudl have gotten the 4" over my Rancho 2" Level....regret that all day long.
I do however think that the 6" lift is too much. Just looks funny to me unless you can get 37" Tires under there. (Which is too much as well I believe)

4" would be perfect I say go for it!!!!

I bought mine boxed and unused from Craigslist for ~$700.00 and installed it with my cousin. I too don't regret getting a 6" lift as 35's fit great and the actual lift is just a hair under 6" anyway. I added a 1" Daystar spacer on top of the lift to fit my new 10" wide rims for nearly 7" of lift and it still fits easily in my 6'10" garage. For me its perfect as I have no desire to go higher, but if you want 8" and more down the road, you need to get a 6" or 8" lift right out of the gate. I hate seeing those monstrous strut spacers but they keep the cost down and you can always upgrade down the road. If not the Rancho kit is a great kit with a great reputation.

Good luck.

After the rebate and a discount code I found, 1400 shipped from StreetSideAuto with the adjustable shocks.
Plan on installing it myself with a friend.

Just some hard won advice. Make sure you have some decent way of enlarging the hole in the top of the strut cap that the shaft goes through to 7/16". I figured my 7/16" bit would be good and that I only needed to go through an 1/8" of steel or something. Wrong! You need to go through about 1&1/2" of hardened steel, enlarging the hole from 1/2" to 7/16". My bit died after about the first 1/4". I had to take the caps someplace and have them drilled out

Do you remember the discount code? Also did you install it yet if so how hard was it?
