6" Performance System w/Dirt Logic 2.5 Coilover w/Dirt Logic 2.25Rear Non Resi 2004-2005 F150 4WD

with that lift would you need a spacer in the front to clear 37's? but still look level? without a AAL

you'd most likely need an AAL to level the a$$ end out

I wouldn't do the 2.5" on top, 2" max, IMO.

With the DL's it will be closer to $2100. And the guy is actually another member on this site. His name is Crash Lucky13 . Real nice guy, actually isnt selling parts anymore but still knows the right people And just so ya know, if you go the DL route, you wont need a spacer. They are adjustable shocks and can give you an extra 2" or so (but don't have to). Plus, they look great and have more then decent reviews.

BTW got urself a real nice looking truck. Glad to see it gets taken out once in awhile. And nice choice in wheels. Those otta look real nice. What size you planin to go with ?

Holding up great, I am very happy with my decision to go with the Fabtech kit.

Did you have the 2.5" leveling kit on top of the lift?

thanks mercedestech, very much. i will keep these ideas in mind. i think that wheel for my truck comes in a 20X9. the 4wp crooks are actually helping me out. they said if i brought cash, those wheels would only be 180 each.no tax.

but saying and doing are 2 different things. we will see.

Correct, had. Ride was to rough. I did notice the ht difference while driving. May try a 2" in the near future & add a aal
? I`ve replaced my lower & upper balljoints, have you had any issues?

No problem And I only called em "crooks" because a few years back they began getting many law suits filed against them for all sorts of things from not putting part numbers on the work order (way illegal in the industry) and charging for parts they never installed and all sorts of other bad things. Bring a bad name to the guys in the business. Its people like him that give me customers who argue and ask to see the broken parts...then still argue.

I should add, each 4WP store is run by a seperate individual and do things different. They can't ALL be bad. I've heard plenty of good things as well.
Goodluck to ya with the build up. Gotta post pics when ur done .

Nope no issues at this point, but I had my 2.5" leveling kit removed the day my lift was installed. I am really looking at adding a 2" leveling kit, but may go down to a 1.5" kit just to help the lifetime of the ball joints.
