Hey all, so i have been going back and forth with which kit i want to get for my 05 fx4... Its a DD, that is going to see mostly highway driving with some weekend warrior and spur of the moment off roading, but nothing too extreme..

I want a kit that will sit perfectly level, keep the front trac-width as stock as possible and fit 35's with no rubbing without making them look too small...

I do not like the idea of the 6" spacer, but i dont really think i need to spend $3K on coilovers either... just dont think i will ever off-road it hard enough to warrant them..

What to you guys think?

I DO not want the PC stage 1 kit either, I hate the way the front crossmember looks and it widens the trac-width..

 

Pro-Comp doesn't widen the front track width. Fabtech does.

 

pro comp also makes a skid plate you can get to hide the cross member
here is my old 05

 

Swazo just picked up a Trail Master for $1500 plus shipping. https://www.f150online.com/forums/su...er-6-lift.html

It replaces the front strut with an extended strut, but retains the OEM spring. Costs way less than a coil over set up but performs much the same.

What I like about that kit is the front CV shaft that it comes with. No other kit includes it that I know of.

 

Great looking truck!! do you by chance have any more pics?

hmmm.... could you explain how the stock coil is used with the extended strut? interesting indead..

 

fx4 for life 79 - I really like the stance of your truck.. was that the stage 1 or stage 2 kit?

 

OP - it seems like every week u have a new post asking the same questions just buy one already!

 

bahaha i know i know. I think its because i keep looking at different kits and different threads and crap.. Alright no more posts about lifts until i finally buy one i promise!!!! haha

 

Or you could consider a Rancho lift!! I have tons of pics in gallery of my truck with 33's and also with a 1" Daystar spacer added and 35's. Out of the box, the Rancho gave me about 5" of lift.

Rancho w/ 33" Nitto TerraGrapps, blocks in the rear:



Truck in my sig has the 1" DayStar spacer added and 35" ProComp XTreme AT's.

Good luck.

 

For whatever reason the album with current pics...4"=1" and 35's...is inaccessible.

 

I'm not sure what level of technical explaination you want. Here's the website that describes the kit. You can download the instructions if you want.
