Eitherway, i measured the center wheel arch with the stock tires and the 35's. frame lift? who measures the frame? unreal, someone who doesnt have a rancho on his truck telling me how much it lifted mine either way its a great kit. its almost the same height as a 6 inch pro comp. 07fx4silver is at 45 inches at the wheel arches and im at 44 3/8". there's always someone that has to argue with you.

I'm installing my rancho in 2 weeks or so, i'll see EXACTLY how much lift it gives before tires.

im not worked up, its all good. everyone is gonna have somewhat different numbers. Copehagen has a FX4 and Colonelblue and i have XLT's, which i think is why we got more lift, because the fx4 did sit higher stock than a xlt. VTHokie got 4 inches of lift from when his truck was leveled. you gonna run 35's too mSaLL150?

Nope, 33s. I drive a lot of highway for hunting and between home and school, 35s would kill my mileage. Also need to maintain power to get up to the ranch (4500 ft elevation) and 35s would kill that also, and i dont want to regear. I think it'll still look good with 33s. We'll see.

So I emailed thumper and he was more than helpful! He ran the Rancho 4" plus an 1-1/2" Autospring spacer with a 1/2" bigger block in the rear. He said "The Rancho sits a little high in the rear and I hated that look. So I added the spacer and it was a little too high in the front thus the addition of the 1/2" bigger block. The ride was pretty good since I had the adjustable Ranchos." So now I am online trying to find the best deal on an autospring spacer

I agree, ive seen a couple rancho lifts with 33s as well and it looks great.

When you order the rancho, you have to order front shocks as well. I would just get the rancho lift and bilstien front shocks that are adjustable 4-6" of lift...That is route i think im taking. Much better than a leveling kit, and if i ever want 35s later on i can push them up to 6" in the future.

The 4" kit i ordered comes with shocks (rs9000x's), but which bilstien shocks are you getting? I'm looking at the 5100 series that is for a 2004+ f150 with 6" of lift but it doesn't look adjustable? I guess I don't understand how the two would work and fit together. Sorry for sounding dumb, I'm just new to lifts and trying to learn how to get the most out of my lift. can you put 6" lift shocks on a 4" lift to make it taller?
