Default Backspacing for 35/12.50 with Rancho Quicklift

I'm going to be installing the Rancho Quicklift on my 08 4x4 Ram.

I was wondering if anybody else is running the same and if so what are your specs?


Thanks in advance

Justin

5" should be ok, but I'd not go any more. BTW, you are going to love the Quicklifts. I helped a buddy put a set on his '06 4x4, great ride, well worth the extra money over spacers, IMO...

I have read some good things about them, and have always like rancho products. They should be in on Monday and going go to order my rims and tires start of next week so hopefully i can do the install and alignment.

Can I have it aligned with the factory rims and tires, and then just pop my new ones on with out any problems?


Also (if you don't mind me asking) where abouts in Coco Beach are ya. I go down every year to our families condo.
