Think I'm gonna scratch this ^ and just stick with Rancho then get a 3 inch body, more wheel travel with this because an Rc 6 inch kit would compress the spring even more (less travel)..

I don't understand this reasoning?
The strut spacer won't compress the springs at all because of the knuckles
You'll get less wheel travel with a 4" lift then a 6" whether there's a strut space or coil spring

If your really worried about performance then the body lift isn't really the way to go

Oh my bad, thought that's what I saw one time. But I don't know if I wanna go a full 6 inches, still debating on whether I'd do 37s or not...

Actually I'm assuming since the Rancho kit is 4' that it doesn't drop the front diff as much as the 6' RC so wouldn't that be better ground clearance even though its a smaller lift?

Pro Comp Stage 2

just some input, I put a 6 inch stage 2 with mx-6 shocks on my 03 ram. 35's no problem, rides smooth looks great i've had it for about months now very happy with it. Check out 4wheelparts.com They have great deals on lifts right now.

Wow yeah they do! Rough Country's warranty is making me lean more towards them though..

What did you end up with? I am also debating the Rough Country 4 or 6 inch lift but with bilstein 5100's.
