Fabtech lift installed on my 2005 FX4 SCrew
Finally got the kit and installed after a long...long wait....The kit was on backorder since April 1, finally got it, but was missing a few pieces...after the long wait it is all together and I am happy
Specs on the truck: 2005 FX4 SuperCrew. Magnaflow Dual outlet single side (Harley exhaust), Edge Programmer, Custom Cold Air. Suspension: Fabtech Performance 6" Lift (basic), Pro-Comp 1.5" AAL (left on from the 3" level I had previous). 18X9 Ballistic Hostels w/ -12 mm offset (4.53" BS) wrapped in 35" BFG Mud Terrain KM2.
I am happy with the outcome of the truck. Thanks for the forum and everyone on it for helping me with the research
Sorry if the pictures don't work...this is my first image post....they are in my gallery...

Awesome truck!
I'm curious... what was missing from the kit? I'm still waiting for my missing parts (Cam Bolts for the alignment)
Can't wait to drive mine! I think I'm going to go with the 1.5" aal as well! I'm not to happy that the rear sits lower than the front! Yours looks perfect!
Thanks for sharing
Cheers

Hey REDHT,
Since your install have you noticed a minor leak at the rear of the tranny from your slip joint? I finally got my driving again and noticed that just a quick trip to the alignment shop I had some leakage!
I'm wondering if I damaged the seal when I was attempting the rear install? I had forgot to disconnect the DS and nearly pulled the DS completely out when the Axle dropped!
If you get a chance let me know what you find!
Again your truck looks sweet!
