I am in desperate need of some new shocks. I am currently running on 32 inch BFG MT and they rub on the inside when fully turned. I don't really want to go through the hassle of trimming the fender so I was wondering if I added a bigger shock like the Rancho 9000XL if the suspension would lift enough to clear the tire. Or how much those shocks actually lift. thanks.
 






Shocks do not lift unless they are made to do just that. RS9000 series are just shocks, and will not lift.

To clear the tires if they still rub after a TT lift, you either need to trim the sheet metal, or get a body lift.

The harder more expensive lift methods are coil over shocks, drop bracket lift, or a straight axle swap.

Welcome to the forum, and spend some time searching the registries for ideas, and how 2's.
