Thank you for listing your height! Does everyone else feel they are under 7'? I have a garage at work with a 7' clearance and I'm thinking of going this route. I feel it looks the best.

Mine is less than 83" at the highest point. Haven't measured it since lifting but I DO barely fit in my standard 7' (84") garage. I was about 79-80" tall before the Rancho and 295/65/20s when I had the 3" lift/level and 295/70/18 Nitto Trails. That was a big factor for me and I probably measured the garage and my truck prior to lift a dozen times haha. Here's proof:

It was pretty intense the first time pulling in. My wife was on a step stool watching my roof as I eased into the garage.

Appreciate the confirmation. That makes me feel a bit better. I guess now I just need to figure out what wheels and tires I want and trust the sign on the parking garage.

As of late, I've been fumbling between 2.5" level or the 4" Rancho. It's driving me crazy. I suspect mostly due to cost. It sure would be nice to throw on 35s without having to worry about rubbing.

Is the ride close to stock with the 4"?

I'm in the same boat as you. Trying to decide what to do with this one. Level or 4"?

Go with the 4". I think that the 35s look funny without it. But to each their own. Once you get it post some pictures.

The ride with these shocks is adjustable and ride fantastic in my opinion. You will get some stiffness though if you go with E load range tire and large diameter wheels. I feel some transfer of road imperfections bc of that but the suspension floats over bumps and soaks up bumps very well.

For both of you, I think you'll have most people in this thread recommending going with the 4" haha. Just depends on what you want out of your truck. I liked when mine was leveled (besides being a 3" and having no travel whatsoever) as it still looked good but not overdone, if that makes sense. I've always wanted a 4" lift and 35s, so couple that with the fact that the leveling kit that was on my truck being less than desirable, it was a no brainer for me. BUT there's tons of great looking leveled trucks.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the 4". I dont really want it level - I would like to keep the same amount of rake front to back. When I pull my Polaris Ranger, it sits level. I do not want it to be nose-high when pulling. Also, I would be keeping the stock wheels.

Thanks for the tips. I'm leaning towards the 4" now. I'll definitely post picks afterwards. Time to start shopping.


Appreciate all the help.
