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...

That looks awesome. How to you like the KM2's? I was looking at going with the All Terrains because mine is mainly a road vehicle with minor trail off road use but sure like the look of the KM2's.
Nice truck!

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

Very nice! I have 10k on my KM2s and they show little to no wear. I rotate every 3-4k and have no doubt I will get 50k+ out of this set.

Looks great. Now you should add some Bushwacker PTM fender flares.

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!
