I got a rancho lift on mine. Rides good I just don't like the red torsion bar hangers. I bought the truck lifted so I don't know where they purchased the lift

I have a buddy who also has a rancho and he likes it. Mine is a procomp 6" that I have the bars pretty low and put a smaller block in the back to give it a 4" lift. Rides pretty decent also.:thumb:

i was thinking about getting a 6in then just lowering it just wasnt sure how they would ride. seems to be easier to get a 6in.

I would get the 6" and drop the bars all the way some manufacturers 6" lifts are actually 4" lifts anyways unless the bars are cranked my fabtech is a true 6" lift I would have to do trimming to fit 35" tires or crank the bars up some. Cognito makes a nice 4" lift with no torsion bar drop but its expensive.

Iv seen the cognito and they are very nice but im not gona drop that coin on a lift even though itd be nice. think ill just end up with a 6 and lowering it like you have said. hows you truck ride?

I went with the Cognito and love it.
Alot of pulling guys are using the 4" Tuff Country Lift Kit and like it!
There are a few threads on here.

Congnito braces and HD tie rods.

Can of semi gloss should take care of that pretty easy.

Go with a 4.5" bds kit bds makes some great stuff. Going to be lifting mine at some point with a bds kit

It'd ride better if the original owner didn't put 3 shocks at each wheel up front other than that its great, when I free up some cash and the front end needs redoing I'm going to keep the dual shock hoops but switch to cognito UCAs and dual fox reservoirs

I have a 4.5" BDS on mine, so far I love it. I run 35" and tow heavy occasionally with zero issues. I had to trim the fenders to get the 35"s to fit, but well worth it in my opinion.

Damn, looks way better with BSM removed...

Dam truck looks good I wand the Bds 4.5in lift myself

 

[J_Stone06]

How much did the BDS cost? Did you do the install yourself?

 

[yitsock]

I didn't do the lift myself, cost was just under what was listed on the bds site. I think lift tires, install was right around $5k. I also had a few other small things done like sleeves, rear spacers...

 

[J_Stone06]

nice, thanks man:thumb:

What size exact wheel/tire/offset/backspace combo?

What are all the exact specs of your wheels (size, offset, backspace), your tires, and exactly what all did you have to trim? And there has to be some rubbing somewhat. How bad is it?

 

[yitsock]

Wheels are exactly as spec'd on bds website. There is rubbing, but only backing up at full lock on one side near cab on right side. It wouldn't rub at all if I would have done a better job of trimming the liner. I did do the small fender mod as shown on other websites.

If I were to crank up the TB I wouldn't have any rubbing unless I went off road. It didn't rub all that bad when I was at the sand dunes last year.
