i never knew rancho made poly kits, but you can use a leveling kit with a suspension lift. your angle wills be just like adding a leveling kit, unless the lift you are adding it to, does not lower the diff the same amount as the height...get what i mean?

so basically ill need the rancho kit and just add the kicker braces with it. but will i need a spacer up front and an add a leaf in the back to level it out or are these both used to jus add more than 4 inches of lift with the kit itself. to "atom" i def love the look of the f150 you posted with the 4 inch rancho and add a leaf and spacer so im guessin that its a total of around 6 inches of lift that you were comparing to the 6 inch fabtech lift? am i correct? this question is mainly to you beens you posted it or anyone that can answer it. also i appreciate all the replys on my other f150 forum and other forums i have been on i dont get near the feedback or any help, kinda depressin in a way at times you know.

IMO if you wanna run the stock rims, leave the rancho at stock height and go with 35's, but you can do what you want. you won't need anything but the rancho, it come with kicker brackes, brake lines, etc. i just posted the pics to give you an idea of what the a lifted truck on stock 18's looks like, pretty nice IMO

just my winter setup, flares make it look crappy, but it sure helps in the winter though...
stock wheels with 35x12.50's, same backspace and width as the fx4 wheels, i just like a nice body to tire ratio, to too big of gap, bot stuffed, somewhere in between

i know, i dont even wanna buy new rims because i just love the look of the fx4 rims put on 35's. yea the tires might not be as wide as alot of lifted trucks but they also have alot more road noise and i just like this look better, but to answer my question was the red one the rancho with the helper and other thing to give it a 6inch lift
