My opinion is that so long as gas is over $3/gal and the country's leading import... you should worry about MPG's. You shouldn't expect much, but worrying about it is not a bad thing!

Rancho lift installed!
Got the truck lifted today and 18x9 XD Addicts (+18mm offset) with Nitto Terra Grapplers (LT325/60R18). I need to snap some better pics soon as I can find my real camera. In my opinion the width with the offset and tires is perfect for stock (or no) flares. Tire could be taller, its only 33" but I wanted to be conservative there at least for now. The Amp Research boards are at a perfect height now. AND... the Rancho kit fit!

Thanks Dawg, your inspiration and assistance made it all happen. I was expecting bfg's but communication mix up ended up with the Nitto's and I'll probably just keep them was happy with them on previous truck. I'm really happy with the maintained ride and handling!
@russ... Was right around 6k but that included a set of goodyear duratracs being mounted on oem wheels and tps taken care of and have $500 coming back from Rancho

Right. Less the $500 rebate. Also included the upgraded adjustable Rancho shocks. You can save another $750 if you want to do the install yourself. It was $3500 for parts alone after the rebate and without alignment.

The truck looks sick OP! I love the Rancho 4 inch lift with some decent tires. In fact I'd have it myself if I didn't have to get my car into downtown parking lots for work when it's -35 in the winter.
How are you liking the overall ride quality and what settings do you have your shocks at?

Anyone put a 4" Rancho lift on a 2011 Ecoboost? Shop in the area is telling me that they believe the 2010 lift should work but Rancho doesn't list a p/n for 2011 and I saw they are seeking someone to offer up a 2011 ecoboost for them to test on.
What is an expected charge for install alone on this kit? I'm not asking about what the cheapest install someone has gotten but rather what I should expect to pay a good and reputable shop to install the lift kit. I was quoted 3450 plus tax and I see 4 wheel online has the kit with 9000 series shocks for 1499 so that would be like playing 2150 for the install...
Recapping questions:
4" Rancho compatible with 2011 f150?
What is expected cost to install for a reputable shop.
