I agree, go with the tallest lift you can afford because eventually you are going to want to go bigger. When I finally lift mine I am going to go with a min of 6" and may look at the 8" if it's within my budget.

I have about 4k miles, had them installed in December. So far there has not been any wear to notice, the edges of the lugs have not even worn much.

Performance is good on street and I have had no issues in slick conditions. Had them in the mud couple times and they will tear some dirt up, but I have not had it in anything deep

You will have a low hum on the highway but its not bad and this is my first m/t after having street trucks so I can't compare it to others

I agree with this, if I went with a 6 inch it would have been bds. Everything I read on them is great.

If you even think of going bigger start with a 6. I would have loved to go with a 6 but we had a baby in January and the wife is under 5 foot so I went with the more practical choice. Plus rancho is a well known brand with very good reviews

My advice...If I were you, I would go with a 6" lift. I installed a 4" Rancho on my 2004 and loved it; however, after pulling up to other lifted trucks w/ larger lifts, all I wanted to do was go bigger. If you get a good lift package, you won't notice a big difference in ride quality. Good Luck...
