Hash278...Need your advice

Hey Hash,
I like your lift and wanted to get a few details on it if you dont mind?
I'm guessing its a 6inch susp lift?
I've got an f150 2WD Flareside Reg cab and am finding that I can really only do a 6 or 7 inch susp lift.
A four inch lift would be ideal, but not available.

Couple of questions:
Is yours a 6inch?
What did you pay for it? (if you dont mind, I'm getting quoted like $2,500 and want to make sure I'm exhausting all of my options here).
What size of tires are you running?

Any advice would be awesome and appreciated, coming from someone with the same rig and has been through the motions.

Thanks Bud!

What lift are you looking at or what kind of setup would you like to run?

I paid 2k for the 6 " Procomp stage I lift including install. I replaced the front spacer with the Fabtech Dirt Logic coilovers and cranked them up about half way so you could say I have about a 7" lift. I also replaced the rear shocks with the DL's also. The tires I'm running are 35x12.5r20 and their the BFG KM2's.

In my opinion I think you should get either the basic Fabtech the Procomp stage II lift. For a 2WD I believe the Procomp stage II lift is about 500 dollars more if I'm not mistaken.

Hash, thanks bud!
I have no idea what to run. I'm going back and forth between a leveling kit and a 6" suspension...both ends of the spectrum, I know.

With the 6" lift, does the truck sit level?

And tell me this:
Do you still love that you went 6 inches? Or do you sometimes second question it?

I'm leaning towards 6" susp lift on Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ Radials 315/70/17

What do you think?

Like everyone always says on here go bigger or your gonna wish you did. That might be the only regret I have to this point is that I didnt go with an 8" lift. I love how my truck sits now but bigger is better.

Sounds like a good setup the MTZ's are a great tire I've heard some good reviews of them.

Any other questions let me know.

Sweet dude, I doin it! 6" Fabtech. 17" Motos off my old truck and 315 MTZ Baja's.
Your truck is the inspiration here; otherwise I would have thought 6" to be too much.
Thanks Bud! I'll let you know how it goes.......
