That's good that it rides nice. I do like Rancho shocks. They are on my truck currently. If I were you though, I would be worried about bottoming a shock out and damaging it or bending a shock mount. I jacked my truck up and took a spring out with the shock installed and pushed the arm up until the shock bottomed out. There was some room between the arm and the bump stop, which means I would have eventually bottomed the shock, especially when I did some off roading. All I did to fix it was bolt a piece of 2x2 square steel to the frame and the bump stop to that. It's not pretty, but it's good enough for temporary.
I eventually want extended radius arms myself. There are some good designs here on the forum that have given me good ideas for mine. I have radius arms from Autfab's econo lift right now, which mount to the stock location and are modified to have correct caster with a 4 inch lift. I have been eyeing hinged tire carriers and tire gates and the like, too. I'm sure someone has done something you could get some ideas from. What do you have for a bender?
