6'' fabtech and 3'' PA body

Just curious but how hard is it to install a 6'' fabtech and a 3'' PA body lift on a 05 f150. Any special tools needed? And if I also added spacers, could I fit 39's? I think Im either going to go with 39's or 38's. Cant decide which. But would they fit and how hard to install the lift kits?

do yourself a favor and just get an 8" suspension kit. it will cost less in the end, and will look a ton better.

I agree. Since you want tires that large, I'd just get the 8 or 12 inch Rize lift.

I am currently running the Pro Comp 64201 Coil Spring Spacer Kit to level the front, and the Pro Comp 13134 Add-A-Leaf in the rear. Is there a lift kit which I can use in conjunction with what I already have on the truck? If I have to get rid of what I already have, then it feels like a waste of money already spent.

you can run the fabtech basic kit with what you got. pro comp basic kit would be terrible for your angles, and is straight up dangerous for your UCA if you re-used your coil spring spacer..

See I already have 2 3/4'' spacers in the front and 1 1/2'' shackles in the rear so I could also use that with the 6'' lift. Do you think that would be enought for 38's with no rubbing or trimming or should I do the 3'' body just to be safe. The only thing I think Ill have a problem with is extending the 4WD shifter. But other then that the 6'' kit seems pretty easy to install, just not sure about the body lift.

i dont see how thats possible. i rub with my 38's. ok so if u put 39's of 41's they will fit but what in the hell are u gonna do with them? there gonna be rubbing on every bump u go on, or every offroad trip u take, imo u cant do anything with 39' or 41's with just 6+3+2.5 if u have a 8+3+2.5 than thats a diffrent story.

I said it could be done, it will be fine on the street y would you take a ifs truck off road 1st and why would you want to offroad with 40s..... Its for the look, if people r able to get 37s with a 6in lift 2.5 spacer y do you think they wouldnt be able to get 39s with a body lift... not trying to be mean or anything but it can be done with a little trimming
