Buy it now before the $400 promo is off!

Thanks! That is a great thread. I literally have the 4" Rancho Lift Kit with RS9000XL shocks sitting in my Stage3 cart right now staring at it. I'm considering pulling the trigger on it and then worrying about finding a place to install it later. The more I look at pictures, the more I want it...now.

You.Will.Love.It.

Trust me, I have it and love it. Remember there are only a couple of days left for the 400 rebate....

You can run the kit with stock wheels. I am running 33s and 17s and they don't rub at all.

No doubt. I've been looking at pics all day and have been drooling. The rebate ends June 30th, so it gives me a little time to decide. I keep going back and forth. I don't NEED it and right now isn't the best time to shell out over $2,500 + for me. Right now my "financial responsible self" is arguing with my "I need it now self."

Earlier today I was ready to purchase. I had myself sold on it. Now I'm leaning towards riding out the level to see if it causes more problems. I would absolutely love to have the 4", but I can also see waiting a while for it or maybe not doing it at all. What I will decide on tomorrow...who knows

I switched to my 93 Performance/Tow tune last night and drove with it to work this morning...man o' man

If this thing doesn't drive better with 34.5" tires than stock, then it is right on par with it. With the 87 perf/tow, I was having to kick it in the butt every once in a while to get up inclines. Sometimes it would even drop to fourth to stay up to speed. Not now. Smooth as butter. I get a lot better response from stomping on it now too. I know I have reached a point of no return...93 octane for life I suppose.

well dude, I ordered my 295/65s last night. I hope they fit! LOL Your truck made me want the TGs BAD, but I don't think I can justify them.

Nice! I can't wait to see them on there. Tires have a way of changing the whole appearance of a truck.

For what it is worth, I will be considering the ATII's as my next tire after the Trail Grapplers. They are agressive looking for an A/T.

Tires leaving Houston this evening, so they will be here tomorrow. The leveling kit is just sitting on the shelf in the garage.

Also, I'm not sure how much you use or like the running boards, but I took mine off and it looks sooo much better. I have the pics in my build thread

I'm considering getting the Autospring 3" rear block to jack the back end up some. While the truck is pretty much dead-on level, I'm beginning to dislike how it looks on even a small incline. I am still fighting the urge to get the 4" Rancho lift, but this is much cheaper and will tide me over for a while.

The 4in is awesome man. You won't regret it. Much better ride, no spacers or weird angles. Plus the $400 rebate is running out. Already got mine.
