The only suspension lift I've been able to find to fit my 2001 4X4 is a Rancho 3". Funny thing though - I spotted one with the lift the other day. He only had 1" more ground clearance than me. And that I attribute to his 33" tires vs my 31" tires. Go figure?

For whatever reason it did not have a rear sway bar so I added one. Saw no difference. It does handle very well though (especially for a 4X4). Leveled it via a torsion bar crank. Am considering a Hotchkiss swaybar kit, as well as either a suspension or body lift to fit larger tires.
