So is that available, or a prototype?

It looks like the front is higher than the rear?!?

It's also parked on an incline which is compressing the rear a bit. I'd wait to see a picture on flat and level.

That lift looks good on the titan.

I got a message back from procomp:

A 6" lift for the 4x4 Titan is currently being developed and is scheduled to be available in September or October. Recommended tire size will be 35x12.50. Estimated selling price will likely be $1500-$1600.

Those guys need to get their sh!t together, I just received this email from them:

ProComp's Kirby Freeman said:

mine was sent to an Amanda Caldwell and then forwarded to Jeff Blakely then back down to me. I guess we'll have to just wait some more till some one drops it on the market.

Another update from ProComp. I asked if they would be working on a 2WD lift:

Pro Comp does have a kit in the works for the 4wd models. Pro Comp has not
had a 2wd model for inspection yet, but it is likely the 2wd and 4wd trucks
share the same chassis and the 4wd kit will work for the 2wd. The kits are
scheduled for release in October.

More information on the Procomp suspension lift. They wrote...

"The gray Titan has a 6" lift kit with 35" tires on 17x8 rims. Sale of the kit is scheduled for mid to late October. The Design and construction of the kit is very similar to our 04 Ford F150 kit minus the custom coil over shocks. A coil spacer will be used with the factory strut assembly and the rear is lifted with a 3" tall block."

I'm also very interested in the Rancho lift, but haven't received much feedback from them. Rancho wrote...

"The suspension system for the Titan will probably be released around the
end of 2004. The ride height of the kit has not been determined yet,
however, there are plans to have it accomidate 35" tall tires."

I thought the Rancho kit was going to be 4", but it sounds like they are not sure. I like the idea of having the smallest lift to fit 35s, but it hard to imagine that a 4" would work when the CST is an 8". I'de love to hear any new information you guys have recieved about suspension lifts.

Sammy Sandbag · 09-01-2004, 11:19 AM

I've heard that Racho sizes their lifts differently than most. The 4" is like an average lift, rather than just the front end lift. So their "4inch" lift might be more like 5.5 or 6 in the front.

A coil spacer with factory shock??

That's kind of crappy...I guest it will save you some money though. I think I am going to hold out for RCD to come out with one. Hopefully they will have a 4-6" by next year using some Bilsteins

I'm not too impressed with the current offerings. The CST looks good, but 8" is too much for my taste.

By coil spacer they mean the mounting point for the whole strut assembly is moved downward, the same thing CST and Rancho do. Otherwise a longer coilover or strut (read $$$) would be required. This set up maintains the factory ride.

Thanks for the info. Not that the stock suspension is bad, but if I am going to lift my truck I would hope that it would give me a few more inches of travel as well. I have never done a lift before (my first truck), but I am assuming if you use the stock struts/coilovers then the travel would be the same? The Titan stock suspension seems to be lacking in this area.
