I have the 4" Rancho on my truck. Ride isn't the greatest but I haven't broken anything. I wouldn't buy it if I had to do it over again.


I plan to swap it out soon.



Hope this helps.

I would just go w/ a hanger & shackle kit for now. Put in a bigger block for the rear. And Bilstein shocks.

I've got the Procomp 6" lift on my 01 4x4 Excursion so I don't know if it applies to your F250, but the ride isn't all that great. I'll be looking at the Donahoe Kit. I've heard a lot of good things about that lift.

There are plenty of other hanger lift. Many do not include a shackle but rather use a bracket to relocate the stock shackle.

The Edge 4.5" is the only name brand hanger and full replacement boxed shackle that I know of in that size. The others that I am aware of are smaller.


Hope this helps.
