I have the Rancho adjustable quick lift set at #5 installed on the front and adjustable on the back set at #4 and I also just replaced the end links and this thing rides amazine both on and off road. I also replaced the red boots for black ones. I'm running 18" Fuels on 35x12.50 Nitto Terra's. The Beast rides better now than it did when I bought her new back in 06 with 89,000 less miles.

I got everything and installed from a local shop here on Long Island. The Ranchos ran me $1800 installed, the Moog end links $250 installed and the wheels and tires $2000 installed.

Just put the Rancho quick lift up front and shocks out back on my .05 screw. Adjusted to just opposite of 4 in the front, five in the rear, kind of funny from above poster. $600.00 from 4x4 parts. I installed in about an hour and a half. If you buy before end of month you can get one of the shocks free, save $100.00. Well mail in rebate match of cheapest part.
Seemed Worth it, and took my leveling kit out.

Gonna ask this here, since it has more attention than my thread.
I am considering getting bilstein lift shocks when I replace the stock shocks on my truck. I currently have a 2" level and 33" tires.
Is it as simple as installing lift shocks and being done or am I looking at replacing lower a arms and other stuff as well? Probably dumb question but there it is anyway
Oh yea 07 Screw 6.5 bed. 2x4

Another note my 33's rub with a
17" wheel 10" wide with 305 trail grapplers. its just a touch on the flairs.
