Get some airbags back there, gives a little lift when you have air in them and great for towing and hauling a load.

Not really, a few little things needed to be done to get it on, but nothing major. Pretty straight foward. Rancho says 5-6 hours for install, and even though I had my front coil overs pre built with the new Rancho shocks it still took like 10 hours. Granted we were doing this on my friends driveway on jackstands, which I'm used to, but him being a Ford tech isnt, it still probably would have taken a good 8-9 hours even with a lift. Maybe 5-6 hours if youve done 10 of them and dont have to even look at the directions.

Looks pretty damn good... Where did you find the Rancho?? Took me two months to track down mine... Look forward to your other photos... I haven't added a level on the top of mine yet but it's definitely a option.....
