Hey Evomind,
Why does it look superior to the Rancho "POS", you ask??...This is straight from the Rancho site: * This kit was developed using a 325/60/R20 on 20x9" wheel with 5.0" of back-spacing. Use of the maximum tire size 37 x 12.50 will require some trimming of the front air dam/fascia & inner fender well for clearance. Rancho recommends using 4.5" of backspacing on 16", 17", and 18" wheels, 20" and above we recommend using 5.0" backspacing. Before installing any other wheel/tire combinations, consult your local tire & wheel specialist. Now, I'm no genius but the rough country kit "looks" superior for the simple fact that you can have a set of wheels and tires that don't stick out past the fenders like a AA battery powered stomper toy. And you won't have to go cutting and jerryrigging your fender well to fit those stomper tires. Maybe that's the way you personally like your tires...but not me. Who would really want a true offroad vehicle with a lift designed specifically for 20" rims? And who in their right mind would buy such an overpriced POS knowing that Rancho themselves even admit that you'll have to do some minor trimming? The retards at Rancho didn't do their homework...why would you spend that kind of $$ for a lift kit that STILL requires trimming just for tire clearance? Personally, I think your rig looks ridiculous. Why don't you check the pics from rough country if you want to see what a truly functional lift looks like.
