lifted 6 or lifted 6 with AL?

[skeeter_usaf]

Well this is my first thread and I have to tell you I have thoroghly enjoyed the insight I have read on this forum. I have a FX2 that I am lifting next month with a 6 inch Fabtech, Moto Metal 951's and 35/12.5X18 Nitto Mud Grapplers. Should I leave it at this or add the level kit for a few extra inches.

As is front will drop .5 inch after mth or so you will be good with no AAL

Oh I meant an auto level kit. still learning acronyms. By the way Wandell if your reading this how can someone be so smart if they are a syrupmaker.

My 4x2
6" Fab W/2"As & 5"rr blks +1.5"rr shackles

i would do a 2" AS and a rear shackle lift or AAL. if you did this you would sit the same height as chaz or a 6" lifted 4x4.

basically copy chaz's suspension set up and you can't go wrong.

Thanks I was actually heading in that direction. I will post pics as soon as I can. Still in Iraq without my truck.

Don't get Grapplers on a 2WD those tires suck wear quick and are loud you will not be in mudd so get ATZ or BFG or Toyo NOT Grapplers or go ahead and go all out get some Boggers

[06yz250f]

i kinda agree what he is saying about mud grapplers. why not go for some BFG KM2's or Toyo MT's if you are wanting a mud terrain. tread life will be better on those two i have heard.

Well I kinda already bought them and have heard good and bad, but the good out weighs the bad. A lifted truck is suppose to roar when its coming down the road that way people know to get out of the way.

Do the Toyo's roar at all, I kinda like a little noise.

any mud terrain will be noisier than a AT or regular street tire. after the tire starts to cup they will get louder. i have not had a mud terrain tire on my truck yet but the KM2's seem to be getting incredible tread life. 07fx4silver has them for about 10k and he said they have worn very minimal. he said he expects 40k easily out of them.

I can barely hear my toyo's in the cab with the windows up .

[skeeter_usaf]

Well I am getting the Toyo's now. I ride mostly on the street and they sem to be a better tire. Thanks for all the info.
