Default Rancho 4" lift on order!

So I finally pulled the trigger on my lift!
Rancho 4" with rs5000 shocks for now until I upgrade in the future to some king or icon coilovers made for my lift.
I'm currently going to be running my 33x12.50r18 nitto mud grapplers on my 18x9 XD addicts with -12mm offset
Stay tuned for updates guys!!

Thanks to Chas and TAP Auto for hooking me up!!!

Thanks guys.
If you have a rancho kit post it up!!
Thanks again.

Congrats man! I've posted mine quite a few times but here's the pics again to give you something to look forward to haha: Rancho 4" lift on order!-image-1580042954.jpg Rancho 4" lift on order!-image-690135447.jpg Rancho 4" lift on order!-image-1820851152.jpg Rancho 4" lift on order!-image-670957250.jpg I love mine (have the RS9000 shocks though) and get compliments all the time. The only issue I had (other than some minor trimming) was that the stock shock dust cover/boot on the fronts rubbed the shock body and made a horrible squeaking noise on every bump. I talked to Rancho and ended up cutting out the hard plastic dust boot and no more issues! Can't wait to see your pics!

Thanks randy.

Did you do the install alone or did you have a shop do it. ??
I don't have stock shocks right now anyhow. So I shouldn't have that issue.
I'm stoked man. I'll try to remember to take lots of pics

I had a shop do the install. They charged $80/hr that the Rancho instructions stated it should take (6 hrs). It took them closer to 10 hrs but still charged me $480+ alignment. Other shops wanted significantly more (mostly around $800 and 1 shop wanted a little over a grand!!) but I trust this shop as they also do my maintenance and get all my tires from them too.

You should be very pleased with the kit! Looking forward to pics

Is it the plastic inner fender or is the bottom of the actual fender?
