4" rancho lift on 2011

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.

anywhere from $650 and below for install, shoot for more around $500 though.

i believe rancho has a $500 rebate going right now as well so figure that out.

he's saying a local shop to him thinks a 2010 lift will work and was just stating that rancho is looking for a 2011 truck to test fit the kit onto before "stating" it will work for the 2011's.

i heard from someone else that there was some changes made, not sure how true that is or not though.

Subscribing, highly interested in this.

Id call Rancho to see what they say, if they are trying to find one to test fit Id wait till that goes well. I think that it should work fine with a 5.0L, just not sure about the EB.

Hope they figure it out before I trade in.......if I do that is

There is a guy on F150forum that has one on his 2011 FX4 EB... the name is like EVSMOTORSPORTS or something... I think its a shop in Houston. Warning they did kinda ruin the truck by slapping a raptor front bumper on it...

They should have just left the fender flares out of the picture. Or done a complete Raptor front end.

^ agreed, those fenders are too big for that small of a lift and tire combo. Plus they didnt even repaint them, ha I was about to disagree with the raptor bumper that it would look good but after looking at it it does look incredible horrible haha

That truck is using the rough country lift. I've gotten less than confident response from Rancho but they told my local shop that it should work. Its going under the knife next week so ill know for sure soon...

I dont think its that bad.
All it features is Flares, wheels/tires and 6 inch rancho lift.

Is it the flares you dont like ?

Im thinking of getting a truck similar to this, but sCab model, and leveled with 33's and the flares.
Im on the fence between this and a Raptor.

the sticker looks like it was made for a cheerleading squad, to small of tire and white letters out (normally i like white letters but not on a blacked out truck), wheels, and flares are too big.

IMO leave bushwacker flares off on a leveled truck, they are too big to look right on a stock height truck.
