The tires would work... whats the width and BS on the wheels ? You using stock wheels ? Most lifts will not work with big tires + stock wheels, however each lift is different and you may be able to find one that would work for your set-up.

you need a photo "host" either use photo bucket or just use the free pic gallery on this site. You can make your own, and upload pics to it... then you click on a photo and there is a small [Forum Codes] icon you can click that is just to the right of each pic. Click it, the copy the "code" and paste it to where you want. When you submit the message it will turn it into a pic.

Sorry, best explanation I can do... I am not a computer type guy. You can go back to the main Forum... scroll down to a "How to" section or better yet... up at the top of the page there is a "Search" feature and you can type in "How do you post pics" and you should get some answers.

BTW, you may have a hard time finding a lift that will work with the stock wheels. Maybe look into buying some after market 17's ? ?

I chose the Fabtech basic 6" lift. Great lift and for the price it just can't be beat. The basic comes with all new shocks at each corner, but retains your stock springs up front for that "factory" ride. They also have the 6" lift with all new Dirt Logic coilovers. I have not owned these but have riden in a F150 with em. Great on-road ride IMO and they get good reviews.

For the price, Fabtech is the best lift IMHO, but there are definately better lifts available. CST makes a REAL nice kits IMO but ya gotta pay out $$$ (reasonable for what they offer) and the the RIZE 8" lift, another great lift with a bigger price tag.

if you can show me a pic, I can tell you if its complete. $900 would be a steal of a deal. I would assume that would be a used kit ? ?

Cost price (for a dealer) is about $1200 or so, maybe a little less if they buy MASS amounts

thats the "general Fabtech pic" its what they post up on just about every lift. Its kinda a cheaper way to make the website. Find one pic that kinda looks like it and use it as a "one size fits all" the throw out the small disclaimer "actual equipment may differ from the picture". Just an FYI.

Where did you find em ? and are you sure this is for the 4x4 lift ? ? The 4x2 lifts are quite a bit cheaper
