Is it really easy to install?

i'm pretty technical when it comes to doing stuff like this, but i've never tackled a lift kit before.

Is it the same as lowering a car? Just looking to save a little money on installation. If it's not worth it i'll pay for installation.

any input is great!

thanks,

if you have the knowledge, tools and lifts, jacks, i would say go ahead and do it yourself to save some money. the install is pretty straight forward. a little more technical than lowering but nothing that someone with know-how couldn't handle. just be very careful as there are unseen forces at work under there http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

i think it would be best to have installed that way if any problems arise you have some recourse http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif have seen a few rancho trucks getting used pretty hard . if you get the correct tire and wheel size you should be fine http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif post some pix as soon as you get it on

why?

It is an over-priced, under-performing POS, like most Rancho gear.

Bide your time and get the Rought Country or better still, Fabtech lift.

Rancho has been out for a long time? how can you say that? Plus i dont want to lift the thing too high! isnt rough country higher then the rancho?

There is also a price factor between the two products... Rancho being cheaper, no?

I think Rough Country may have a 3 inch lift coming next month. I say, I THINK, I'm not sure. Maybe FormerJeeper could share some of his knowledge on the subject. Just a side note, I've had my fair share of problems with Fabtech as well.
