I'm debating between a 4" Rancho, and 4.5" Superlift. I don't want to go too high to go not be able to go into parking garages, but yet high enough for an aggressive wide stance with a wheel/tire combo. I'm wanting 35x12.50x20's on a mm951 4.5" bs set of wheels. Long term I'd like to get either the rancho or superlift lift and the minimum they say to go in backspacing is 4.5" I believe (correct me if I'm wrong on the Rancho...not too sure about that one). If I go with a leveling kit 1st when these tires wear out and run the 35's on my stock 20's, then get the 5.71" backspacing on the mm951 (still on the leveling kit I am looking at...2.5" front and 1.5" AAL), could I add a spacer and get the desired backspace measurement to run with either of those 2 suspension kits?

the rancho allows rims up to 6" of backspace, rancho all the way IMO, tad more expensive but alot better kit
-one piece subrame
-no spacers up front, replacement shocks
-allows the use of a spare tire in case of a flat
-real nice kit to install absolutely no drilling, trim the frame crossmember and that's it (all small lifts require this)
-uses longer brake lines up front, stainless steel

So I could run the 5.71" BS rim with the Rancho, or would I need a spacer? I've heard it is greally a little higher than the advertised 4 inches also...?

ATOM

no spacer needed, those will fit the rancho knuckles. yes a tad more, i ended up gaining 5.25" or so of lift. my front fenders measured 44 3/8" on 35's at the front wheel arch, that measurement was at the fender before the flares.

I'm thinking about just keeping the AAL with the Rancho lift...any problems with that?

ATOM

rather than using the block? or with the block? wanting to achieve a rake i take it? or no?

ryanralston07

With the block...sorry about that lol I like a little bit of rake, and I've read that the front sits higher than the rear, so even a level look is fine with me. I'm looking at AS's AAL kit

ATOM

the rancho sits almost dead nuts, maybe a 1/2" rake at most. not real sure about how much lift the AS AAL adds.

ryanralston07

I've read 1.5-2", so I'd have roughly the same rake as what I do right now..maybe an inch more. I'm looking at buying this one:

that's a good price for that kit, the shocks will set ya back around 500 bucks though, unless you can find a good deal on them, i got mine for 3
