what do you think about rough country lifts? everybody i know talks about them, and i know you have a rancho, so i figured i would get a different perspective on things.

Thanks, my F-150 front-end is the stock Dana 44 TTB
(Twin Traction Beam)

The Rancho 4" Lift with Long Radius Arms & Dual Front Shocks setup was $2,000.00 (delivered price) ten years ago.

The Lift Kit was installed during a body-off frame rebuild.

Ensure the lift you buy is designed correctly, many lifts are a lot cheaper than Rancho, but sadly the tires will toe in or lean out.

Rancho has a less expensive lift without the long radius arms and dual shocks setup, I think.

looked through you album and i'm in love with your truck! looks good with the lift and bushwacker flares. i also noticed that your truck isn't an I-beam truck, or that i could tell.

how much was your lift, and what could i do to keep my wheels from cambering out too much when i lift it?

That's what I did, I ordered a 87-91 F150 instrument cluster with tachometer off eBay and installed it, Ford already wired it for a tachometer, it's a plug and play type.

The tachometer in the instrument cluster you installed should have worked, but apparently something was wrong with it before you installed the cluster.

I looked on eBay this morning and didn't see one listed w/tach.

Thanks for the compliment!

Hey, Nice truck!!!

Maybe you can help me out with some mods I am trying to do on my 87. I noticed you had a tach, did that come stock or did you put in a new cluster. Mine don't have one and I would really like to have one. I pulled one out of a 91 and put it in mine but the tach did not work.

Rancho 4" suspension lift

Spring height on-truck
15.75" tall on driver side
15.25" tall on passenger side

Truck sits level , unsure why the 1/2" difference?

These measurements are from the bottom edge of the coil spring to the top edge. I measured each side several times to be sure.

They have been installed for 10.5 years and 62K miles.

Hope this helps!

Would you be able to do me a huge favor and measure how tall your coil springs are under pressure? Mine are sagging and i want to know roughly how much.I got the same susp. lift as you but i bought it used. Thanks

The bumpers were bought 10 years ago from www.smittybilt.com

Now they make the same style for Jeeps only.

I love your bumpers/get out the way bars! Did you make them or is that something you can buy? VDuck

Are you referring to the Solenoid problem my 1987 F150 had months ago?

I installed a new Solenoid on the fender along with a new larger
2.0 AWG Positive Battery Cable and my 87 has not had any more problems cranking. (The 4.0 AWG Positive Cable was not corroded and was only 2 years old)
