I currently have the 4" Rancho on my truck and have had it on there pretty much since I have owned the truck which is going on 7yrs. It has treated me very well over the years without any issues whatsoever. If someone is just wanting 4" I would highly recomend the Rancho. Just my .02 worth. Good luck in your search/decision.

One cant go wrong with a stage 2 procomp 6" lift. I got mine form 4wheelparts by reliant stadium in Houston and have not had one problem since. Plus those guys over there really go above and beyond to make sure what you order will last at least from my experience.

But ultimately, where should I start? Tires, suspension, or just get familiar with what I h as be before I start throwing parts at my truck.
No more that 4" try RCX, Zone, superlift, or Rancho

Looks like the Rancho 4" for the 2004-08 may still be available...

Guys I really appreciate your feedback but I posted this in 2007... but cool thing is I ened up getting the 5" RCD lift for the 4x4 and has been a workhorse! Only downside with a lift that high and 35s is the constant wear and replacment of ball joints and hubs in the long run

Hmmmmm, I have yet to replace any hubs on mine and have only had to replace the upper passenger side balljoint(and that was around the 125,000 mileage mark). The lift I have has been on it almost its entire life and so have the 35's. I now have almost 130,000 hard miles on mine and she is still going strong. Maybe I am the exception to the rule, but this is what has happened with mine so far. But I also don't know what your considering "in the long run" either so it may be a moot point. Anyway, good luck with the lift, it sounds like your happy with it and that is all that matters.......
