Also, were you pleased with the final product, handling, ride etc. Is there anything, just released out there of quality that is 4" or less?
Thanks!

You'll gain 1" from going from the 35" to the 37" tires. The Rancho lift will lift it about 4". I talked to a guy @ 4 WHeel Parts that had his 04 done just over a year ago. His was raised just under 6" total he said.

He said it was like riding in a stock truck with a little more lean in the corners.

I run 37's now on the truck without the lift. Once you put the power progarmmer on and change up the shift pattern a little, I don't notice much power differnece at all. Since I went with aftermarket wheels an 13.50 wide tires, the snow/ rain is all over the truck in 2 seconds. You'll want to look into some flares if you like the paint on your truck. I went with the E & G flares. They work great.

As for the rest, I'll let you know more in three weeks.
