Default Re: NEW Rancho 4" lift for H2 for sale

The Rancho kit was designed with a 17 x 10 wheel with 5" backspace and 37 12.50 17 tire. So if you should be fine/ depending on how wide of a tire you use. The Rnahco lifted H2 I had, I used a 17 x 9 4.75bs and 37 13.50 tire. No issue. In fact that truck now sits with 38 13.50 MT's on it on those wheels. So no worries fitting.

Now, I have built the Rancho lifted truck for myself and have driven the Fabtech lifted H2 also. With the wider track width of the Fabtech kit, I would go with the Rancho any day. If you are going to run a larger tire than 38's it will be tight on the Rancho kit. The Fabtech kit sits about 2" higher overal up front. In dealing with Fabtech and Rancho, I will NEVER use a Fabtech product myself. I have had 1 Fabtech lifted truck and 2 Rancho lifted trucks. Rancho wins hand's down on quality, customer service and ride in my book. ...my 2 cents fwiw.

why would wider track width on the fabtech be a negative?

tires stick out more
grooves in the road are noticed more the wider the width


Once you driven both kits on road, it's noticeable. The Rancho kit road much better imho.

If I lift again, I will go Rancho again.

I also have pics of both kits after being driven for 6+ months. The Fabtech kit was rusted up on a couple of the brackets. the dirt logix shocks were rusted to $hit. The Rancho kit was almost perfect except the bottom of the shocks by the adjusters. That kit was 2 years old.

Hmmm, I'm the same height as a local H2 with a Fabtech lift, next time we bump into each other I'll try to snap some pics (I have a Rancho).
