yea, i saw that it only cleared 34.5's, but thanx im going to do a little more research.

 

im sure it will clear 35's considering people are runnin them with a leveling kit

 

Apreciate it, would there be anything else i need to buy with the lift kit? like i said im new to the truck world.

 

i think with this rancho kit it is the whole kit comes with everything you will need...

 

Yeah the rancho kit comes with all the essential parts, and plus, it is an awesome lift kit. I actually have the new Rancho RS9000XL shocks and absolutely love them....Rancho's quality is definetely on the higher side. As far as tire sizes, you'll have the advantage of being able to fit 35" to 37" tires....just make sure that you dont get too big a rim size, as for one it looks funky and two, it doesnt help performance much. Good luck! It will be fun....

 

I lived in Ga. for 14 years until I moved to Fl. to help out my parents for a while as both are ill.I continue tohave a number of hunting/fishing/off-roadin' redneck buddies up there. Everybody has a lifted truck. I've driven or at least ridden in almost all the suspension lifts. If it will clear the tires you want, I think the Rancho handles the best, and most of my buddies with Fabtec, Procomp, Superlift & Skyjackers agree with me. It may be that at only 4" instead of 6" the truck is more centered, or it just may be made better, I don't know.
Also, if you shop it, somebody is always including Rancho shocks for free. I paid about $1700 to the door for my 4" kit about two years ago and the RS9000X shocks (their top of the line at the time) were free, about a $360 value. Only thing I bought that was not included was the skid plate with "RANCHO" etched on it (not necessary, but looks cool and is functional).

Hammer I gotta say, your truck definetely is eye appealing, especially with all the red..... I only wish i could have the benefit of using the rancho kit on my truck, but sadly its only 2wd.....

 

well i certainly apreciate all the responses. Ive got the 20" rims that came on the truck, when i lift it and get new tires, i plan on getting new wheels as well, whats a good size wheel to get? Also any recomendations o n where to buy the rancho lift kit from?

 

topguncustomz.com has the rancho kit for a good price. I know a lot of guys on the threads like them. As far as rims go, remember that you can't go smaller than a 17" because the brakes are oversized...I myself am rocking 17x9 American Racing Vector's with the Teflon finish...Absolutely love them....Not too expensive and not too fancy, but just a perfect all around good looking rim. I'd suggest sticking with 17" 's as you'll notice the ride difference

 

Pick what you like, however, I strongly suggest 17's if you plan any off-roading. Bigger wheels means less meat, less meat means less flex, less floatation, and less absorption. Flex is a biggy on rocks or even the trail, floatation is big in mud and absorption is a biggy for the kidneys & back!!!
You shouldn't even be thinkin' 20's unless you have a solid front axle truck, with a huge lift and big tires, like 38/39" or bigger.
Just remember, besides the size and lug pattern, you need to be thinking about offset and backspacing. Stock wheels won't let you fit a very big tireeven after a lift because they rarely have enough of either to keep the tire from hitting components underneath.
