Rancho lift on stock wheels?

[jke_h3]

Hey everyone, I have a quick question (two actually) about lifting my 06 H3

I’m looking to install the 4 inch Rancho lift on it, and I’m wondering a couple of things:
1.) Can I install this lift with the OEM wheels?
I love the way they look and don’t want to buy new ones.
2.) Does anyone have any pics of a lifted H3 with the factory rims, some 1.25 inch spacers, and 35’s?

Thanks!

This question has been answered plenty of times, but the search function seems to not work very well. You need 1.75"-2.0" spacers to fit OEM wheels with a 4 inch Rancho lift. Hopefully for you, you already have a Rancho lift. If you don't have one, good luck finding one. When purchasing spacer (or adapters), I'd suggest quality, USA made BORA spacers from the link below, versus the low cost china garbage on AmazonEbay. Currently they are $92 per spacer for a 2".

2” spacers, stock wheels. Waiting on leaf springs for the rear but it’ll all clear.

After having spacers for years now... I really wish I didn't. I have good ones I think. But they have a lower torque spec than stock and I always have to tell the right specs on tire rotation and tire installation. Haven't had an issue with them but it's just one more thing to worry about.

No spacers, no rubbing 315/75 on OEM 16", just cranked mi T bars 2,5" front and added 1.25"longer shackles at rear, removed front s way bar.

The question was regarding fitment with a Rancho lift installed. No need for spacers with stock suspension, but with the Rancho 4" lift spacers are required if using the stock wheels. A better choice than spacers might be 17" wheels especially as there are more choices now as 16s get less popular.

Congrats if you have a ranch lift, but don't really need it to fit 35s. Use it to fit 37s!

Thanks for the info y’all
I’ve decided I am gonna stick with my current ride height and 35s, no I don’t have a Rancho lift, I thought I saw some for sale but I might’ve been looking at it wrong. I’m also debating on spacers, but I’ve been liking the idea of keeping a clean, more OEM style build just tougher looking. Thanks again!
