Looks great! I always wondered how the add a leafs would look. Seems like everyone does the 4" lift.

I think there's so many 4" because there cheaper for some reason.

Anyways your truck looks better with the small lift and you should get pictures of the leaf stacks.

22 years ago I paid $350 for a Rancho 4 inch suspension lift with blocks, and a new steering arm. I also bought 6 Rancho RS-5000 Gas Shocks, for $25 bucks apiece, plus another RS-5000 Steering Stabilizer. Back then I was running 36' Buckshot Radial Mudders. Trucks still the same other than the tires. I was giving the underneath a shakedown today and noticed that I need to replace my quad shocks on the drivers side. Sure am glad the Rancho's have a lifetime warranty.

Ah hell, that now pisses me off. I didn't grab the dual Rancho's off that 87 Burb I got the front axle with 4in lift springs, steer arm, dual stabilizers etc etc. Had I know that, I'd have got the shocks too. It won't be gong back dual stabilizer but are those lifetime too?

Don't fret too much HR, for me to be able to swap out the schocks I have to show my original sales reciept for them, or the most recent one that I recieved when I swapped out the last shocks that were leaking. I've got them stapled together. All the Rancho shocks including the stabilizers had a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.

Not unless you've got a good buddy who works at an off road shop who would just swap em out. I've known the owners of our local shop for over twenty years and even though I bought the shocks from them they still need the sales reciepts so they can warranty them. You would think that Rancho would just warranty them no questions asked if they were leaking like mine are. Now the steering stabilizer I dented on a tree stump they wouldn't warranty, and I can understand that.
