...for my 1998 4x4.

Is there a big difference between the two? The big difference I see is about $1000 and all things being equal, I'd love to put that extra $1k towards tires and a paint job...

I'm planning to do the install myself. Which would you recommend and why?

 

Its been a while... but anyone have any advise on this?

 

Besides the fact it looks like the rancho is discontinued, you get that extra inch, which means more room, which helps with tire and wheel choice and if you want to go bigger later.

 

Did anyone look at the date of the original post?

Fabtech all the way
