I'm reading you rancho guys are getting close to 5" with this kit. Looks like it may put me in the garage and have 1" to spare. That's really close Thanks Chris
Here are some pics I took for another member that was worried about clearance. I'm running the Rancho kit with 295/65/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers, which measure out to 35.5" tall. I have a standard 7 ft garage and fit fine (though the first few entrances were intense haha). 4in Lift VS Stock-image-328213947.jpg 4in Lift VS Stock-image-1889071878.jpg 4in Lift VS Stock-image-1978869546.jpg As you can see, I have 3" left up to the rubber flap and another inch to the actual frame.

Edit to add my garage opening height pic (84" to rubber flap and 85" to frame):

4" rancho sits even with a 6" pro comp from what we've seen at the shop. Especially if you go with 9000 Rancho shocks.

In other news, I prefer stock

I measured again and I'm at 82 3/4. If I remove the 1/2 decorative strip on top I'll be a hair over 83"

I hope this helps someone with their decision as I was on the 6in vs 4in fence for a very long time and nobody in my area had a 4in. I wanted to Thank Desert Dawg for his help too. He has had and does have some amazing trucks. When it all is said and done, the 4in was way more than I thought it was gonna be (with all the "6in or you wont be happy" hype had me doubting) and the 4in is perfect in my eyes.

Mine

2013 FX4 Sterling Grey. 5.0l, 4in Rancho, RS9000XLs, Fuel Hostage 20X9 (4.5 backspace) 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grappler MT

The other is a stock

2013 FX4 Sterling Grey EcoBoost. Only other notable difference is his Mirrors. The rest is identical.

I hope this Helps somone else. Aso my cell is the only camera I had so if someone wants better pics, he parks in my Parking Lot Everyday so that can be accomplished.



With that rancho lift, did you have to do any trimming to get the 35" tires to fit?
