Pic Request
Hey everyone, so I will be coming into some cash around the october-june timeframe( getting deployed) and want to do a bunch of stuff to my truck.. HOWEVER i havnt decided whether i want to lift it, tires, etc. or go with the supercharger.
Does anyone have any pics of a 4" lifted f150 on 35's next to a stock 4x4 or one with a 2" leveling kit? thanks!

Common question nowadays: 4" vs 6" lifts. Although I have the Rancho 4" kit, love it and think it's one of the best 6"-and-under kits around, the cost muddies the issue. The Rancho will give you nearly 5" and with a spacer/coilover, you can get 6" when you need it. With an out of the box 6", you can eventually add a spacer/coilover and go a few inches higher. So with all else being equal, you might as well go for the 6" lift to start out with, UNLESS you know you can't (clearance issues, garage, etc).
I went with a 4" cause of my garage plus two small kids and occasional car seats. I recently had to add a 1" spacer because of my new rims, and I think it looks great. But I think if I had a daily beater, I might've gone with a Fabtech 6" from the get go. Having said that, I love my Rancho and have absolutely no regrets. Good luck with your decision!

Thank you so much guys for all the replies! How is the wear and tear on the front end with the 4 vs the 6? i have heard that the rancho kit pretty much keeps all the angles at stock.. Depending on how i go about my finances when i deploy i will either pay my truck completely off, or pay if mostly off and have some extra money to play with after. Either way the lift and tires are going on. If i have extra money left over, i REALLY want to go with the Ford Racing SC kit.

yeah, ill be installing it at the Auto Hobby shop on base.. Should be pretty easy to find someone who knows what they are doing, although all the lifted trucks around here are mostly f250's and 2500's..

hmmm... never thought about that. im pretty sure the rancho 4" and 35's will be plenty high for what i will do.. I mean ****, my f150 with the 2.5" leveling kit sits ALMOST (less than an inch) as high as my buddies 1500 with a 6" lift. .

I think some folks tell you to go 6 inches because they really weren't happy with a 4-inch lift for whatever reason. But I actually went from a 6-inch lift on my last truck to a 4-inch lift on my current truck and very happy with the decision and final look. I get about the same stance and more off road clearance that I wanted but kept the truck easier to use for hauling and/or getting kids and older folks in/out of the vehicle, and it still fits in standard sized garages. And quite honestly, with the Rancho 4-inch system anyway, it still looks almost as high and just as tough.
