Rancho 2.5 lift and shocks installed and the wife loves it. The original shocks were wore out so anything would have been an improvement.

After a week of driving around I took a few measurements and compared them to the before. It seems the lift yielded 3.5”. A small part of that may be from the rock sliders as they mount between the body and the frame causing the body to raise up just a bit. A little more then expected but it doesn’t have vibrations and rides much better then it did before hand.

The stock shocks had given up and were providing no damping so anything would have been an improvement.

The lift kit I went with was the Rancho 2.5“ and Rancho 5000x shocks.

Now just waiting on the tires and wheels to show up.
 
Got our tires and wheels, got a few things still to do and tie up some loose ends but we are very exited about how it came out.
