Do the Truckin suspension search on this site and come to your own conclusion. Very few here support it but some have it and stand behind it. On another site there is more info about the lift still being not good and CS bad and incomplete kits being shipped. Also the instructions that come with it clearly state it is not for off road use but they may have changed that to help sell them.

Rancho has its cons as well. The body lift seems to be the preferance due to being able to run 33x12.5's a bit better on stock rims. But frame rub is inevitable and you will still have to trim either way.

Since I do wheel mine all the time with the Rancho lift largest tire on stock rims is 33x10.5x15 or 255x85x16 for best off roading situations some run 285x75x16 with no problem but if you put on MOOG's upper ball joints it may be an issue.

If you go with a rim that has say 3.5" of Backspacing you can go wider on the Rancho.

With Truckin you are on your own to decide or maybe someone else will give that info. I just know what is said about it but do not have first hand info.

Never late for a Tee time or wheelin with my buddies! Always ready for both!!!

OK another question, If i put the 3" sup (rancho) and a 3" body lift will i need to add any linkage like clutch cable etc.... or can i just intall them both and go. I put a 4" lift on older trucks but they were full size and they didnt need anything. Im just wanting to put both lifts on and tires and off i go. Ill add extras when i can but cash is tight.

Also forexfour
i checked out your site and watched some videos pretty nice.
