i am just days away from ordering my lift,my question is should i get rancho's 2.5" or their 4" kit? is 2.5 enough lift or is 4 too much? my long term plan is to run 32" tires on 8" rims

Scott'
Get the 4", although I don't think Rancho makes one. Do you mean Superlift 4"?

Scott, i second Bill on that 4" lift over the 2.5" lift. you will be happier about getting the 4" on there and it gives you room to run a bit bigger tire, " cause as soon as you get the 2.5" on there a month later you will be like this isnt high enough.." then you will be glad you went with the 4". your goal might be 32's today but next week it will be 35's.

thanks for your input, i was kinda leanin' that way, and you guys have pushed me over. the guy in the shop here mentioned the wear and tear factor is a bit higher with the 4" what is involved there. just u joints or is there more to be expected?
