Default Which Lift Do I Pick??

To start out I have a 2013 Ecoboost Screw 4x4. Im looking to do a 4inch suspension lift and throw on some 33s. I want to lift for looks, but also for some minor offoading every now and then, nothing crazy. Ive been doing some research and the names that i have seen the most are rancho and rough country. Im looking for good quality but nothing crazy expensive. I know ill be dropping about $1300-$1500 for one of these kits but I want to see what everyones opinions are on them. Any advice, suggestions or feedback is much appreciated! Thanks!

I have the zone f10 6 inch on my truck. But I also do some heavy off roading. If I were to lift for just looks I'd get a rough country as they are the cheapest. I've used their lifts in the past and I can't say anything bad about them in my experience.

I have a Rancho 4 inch on mine, it works great. With the rebate Rancho had last spring/early summer I got it for about 1600 or so with the shocks. Not too bad to install either (all the lifts now have a similar installation process.)

Ive got the rancho 4inches. It actually runs if im not mistaken 5.25 inches up front. And with offroading, IMO 6inches work best for mudding and stuff while the 4inches or lower are pretty good for climbing steep mountains and going up rocky roads on cliffs because its not as tall and not as easy tippy.

4" lift with 33's? Don't you think the wheels will look a little small? Do 35's.

^This. 35s look perfect on a 4" lift.

I have a 4" RCX, no complaints.

34's look just fine on a 4". Not everyone has the gearing to run 35's guys. I'm doing a BDS 4" with 32's for now so they will look puny lol. 33-34 looks great.

35's if you are buying new tires, otherwise you may end up regretting it.

Default bang for buck

If you want the off road look and sticking with 33's I would simply level the truck with replacement struts or just a spacer. The spacers run 75-10 then depending who installs it can go up to 500. The tires fill the fenders and gives it a beefy look.
