Howdy folks, I'm still relatively new to the 4x4 scene and I don't know very much about suspensions. I currently have an old 2" Rancho suspension lift on my truck that the original owner installed. I would like to have a 4" lift because I'm tired of my front bumper hitting dirt, and stronger leafs in the rear (for the bumper/tire carrier I'm gonna have built) but I don't know where to start.
I was thinking of just pulling out the Rancho kit and putting in either a Rough Country or Skyjacker 4". Are there kits out there that just don't include shocks? Because I LOVE my Rancho shocks.
Then again, this option is very expensive, and I'm curious if I can modify my current Rancho setup to get more height out of it. I'm aware it's possible in the rear, but like I said, I know nothing about the front.
Also, are there stronger leafs that I can get that don't make the ride more rough? Or are strength and comfort mutually exclusive?
