Default Help with lift kit ?

So im looking into getting the rancho 4 inch lift. I already have a pro comp leveling kit but it just isnt enough.

Will my leveling kit be compatable with the rancho lift or will it be replaced?

Also can I rock 33" tires with a 4 inch lift or with they look to small?

Pictures welcome

They will not work. Rancho gives you the option for different shock absorbers. I used to have the rs9000xl shocks.

I had 295/65/20 nitto trail grapplers. They were about 35.5". 33s would be wimpy and ridiculous. Just sayin'

Ohh okay. So you think 33's would look that bad lol?
I just don't want to go to a full on 35, probably lose like 5-6 mpg .

You gotta expect a MPG loss with a lift and big tires...

Your mpg will change when you mess with your tires and/or suspension.

My buddy's got a lift like that with 33s and it looks stupid. He's going to 35s when he gets the money. So my advice is dont get the lift until you're getting new tires.

Another word of advice, don't get a lift if your concerned about mpg. That's why I went back to stock suspension.
