I am also thinking about putting on a Ranch lift with the exception of running 33" tire and haven't decided on 17" or 18" wheel, but in black. I think I have it narrowed down to the "Mace" by American Racing. I have been researching this topic for probably just as long as you have and I think I have come to the conclusion that it is all up to personal taste. Everyone seems to have their opinions. Check out the very first thread in this area where everyone has posted pics of their lifted trucks. Johnny Baja has the setup you are looking at running, and I have to say...it looks AWESOME, but looks are only part of it. Good luck and post pics when you get 'er done.
