New to this site, just thought I'd say hey and get some pics of my truck out there.

I bought this '96 beauty back in '08 with 115,000 and she is running strong about to push 140,000. Wouldn't trade this truck for anything......well almost anything.

Thanks bigt03. To be honest, I don't know the size of lift. I bought the truck almost 3 years ago with the lift and 33's already installed. I was able to slide the 35's in there, with some good rub at full lock. For me it's perfect height, but as soon as the 35's wear down, I'll be going back to 33's.

If I were to guess at the height, I'd say maybe 3" with front level, 6" absolute max (far stretch).

Did a little bit of research, contacted a previous owner (4 owners back) and found out that it is a Rancho lift (4" in the front and 2" block in the rear).
