What is the ride like?

I am considering the same kit once my H3 suspension is due for a rebuild. Currently I have it leveled with 33's and looks good, but if springs and shocks ever need upgrading I think I will spend the $$$ and get the Ranchero 4" lift.

Its rides great. I've had it on for less than 24 hours so i'll get a better idea over the weekend. But so far so good. in the words of Phil Robertson--"Happy, Happy"

Looks like an old toy called a Stomper! Very nice! Love the color as well.

3,200 total. Running stock rims with 1-3/4" custom ordered spacers. I'm not done with her yet. I do plan on going with Thor parts bumper and winch. Rock sliders and OEM grill guard. Tires only have 15,000 or so miles on them so it won't be a while until they are replaced.

Looks awesome. When you ordered/installed the kit did you go with the HD leaf spring option? I got an email from they stating you have to specify the HD spring otherwise you get the 'regular' one that some members have had sagging issues with.

Interesting....I was never presented with the option to go with HD springs. When sagging does happen i'm going to go with a rear air bag set up.
