This is for a 2000 model.

I do not want a body lift, and I am trying to keep costs down. Looking to get bigger tires soon, and want to raise my truck a little more. What can I do to bring her up a little more, BESIDES torsion bar cranking. The shop that put the fabtech kit on said I should leave the height the way it is until i get bigger tires. Right now I have 33's on 16x10" wheels. Guessing to go up to 35's? Will shocks help me out? How about AAL on the back, and ? front?

I do not want to re-gear. It just ain't high enough for me right now!



Any help is appreciated! Thanks. Here is a picture of my truck now.

 

35's-36's will fit without cranking the torsion bars. that's as big you can go unless you plan on cranking the torsion bars, adding a body lift, or cutting the fenders. for the rear, i would consider ditching that 6'' of block you are currently running, and running some arched lift springs.

 

You should be fine with 35's.

 

OK, I figured 35's as is would not be an issue. I am looking to go up a little more though. I like the idea of "arched lift springs", and maybe cranking the torsion bars just a little if need be to level her out.

From the picture, you can see that the CV angle is almost horizontal, so a little more angle there should be ok, right?

Will the arched lift springs give me a little more lift in the back over the block that I currently have? Can you direct me to a link to the lift springs that I would need?

Thanks for the advice folks!!!

 

hello (sorry for my english i'm an italian boy)
this is my first post...
i have a f150 stepside 2000 4.6L v8 4x4 like yours and i want to buy a lift kit...
i see the fabtech but in the catalogue i find only the kit for 2wd or for 4wd super cab, supercrew....
what kit did you buy for your beautiful f150??? thanks

 

I bought the kit for a supercab. Here is a link to a kit that is the same type that I used:

By the way, I have relatives in Rome and Trieste. Ciao.

 

so the kit for super cab fits exactly in ours extended cab??? very good.... thanks a lot
ciao

 

If you have doors that open to the back of the cab like mine, it is a supercab. If it has 4 "full size" doors, it is a supercrew (screw) cab. If it does not have any doors other than a driver's side and passenger side with an extension to the cab, that would be an extended cab.

So, if your truck is like mine it is a supercab. I think prior to 2000 there was only 1 door that opened to the back on that model.

 

this is the mine




i think it's like yours
