Is this lift any good?

Not that it matters as it's already on the truck. But any known issues I should be aware of. It appears to be a Rancho 4 inch? But not sure. It was on the truck when I got it. And yes I have an oil leak somewhere and I'm working on figuring it out.

That's only 4"? Looks like a 6" or 7" to me. I can't speak for the quality of that kit. But, generally, any kit that drops everything down while maintaining factory design is good. Unless there was a design flaw in that kit, I'd say it's just fine.

From where it is I'd check the power steering, pump , gear, lines.

Would your lift be the difference between where the upper control arm is now and where it should be? The measurement between those two bolts.

I'll check and see what it comes out to. Thanks.

Right, as David mentioned, measure from the original mounting location to the new mounting location. Center of one bolt to center of the other.

Oh, then update your sig. :D

Lifts are pretty simple things if they just get the geometry right and don't put any other mechanical items in a bad position. Many people just rate a lift being "good" by how it rides which is mainly the spring rate and shock damping. In other words, check to make sure nothing like a driveshaft is at a a crazy angle and if the ride is ok to you, it's probably fine.
