Haha no man! I dont want to sell it. It took me a month to save up enough just to get it haha.
worth a shot. if i went the spindle route i would be doing both so id be spending about 600 on that then there arent many options or do the 7.5" which costs idk so.. i got a while to think about it

They dont have it on the internet. You have to go there and talk to the guys at the store. I have one in SA. Just go in there and tell them you have a 98 2wd 150(fits the 01 too) and that you want a fabtech lift. They will ask you about the crossmember lift or the spindle lift. Just tell them you want the crossmember one.

It comes with coils, shocks, drop down crossmembers, spindles, blocks and U-bolts, and all necessary hardware. Some trucks need a driveshaft extension. If you do.. its like $40 installed.

No sir.. its $1,000 out the door. No installation. You can put it on by yourself. Especially you jake. You have done much harder things that putting a 7.5" lift on.

yea i wouldnt imagine it would be too tough but usually out-the-door means installed. does that include tax? ill have to see if i can come up with the cash around christmas and then do the BL gear and 7.5" at the same time next spring as well as 38"s haha

Oh well I have heard the exact opposite of that. Either way, its $1,000 for the lift.. no installation. Installed is about $1,850.. I say that because that was my estimate. No.. its without tax. Come out to $1,087.50.

I am working on gears right now..

Well.. right now I have basically new 33's. I could easily get another two years out of them, but I will probably be taking them off and selling them. I am trying to do everything at one time too. I really need a programmer because my speedo is already 8mph off. After that I need to get bigger tires somehow, and I dont plan on paying $2,500 for a set. The gears are going to run me about $300(including parts and everything.) I found a place to install them for $400. Before I get the tires and new lift put on I am going to get my roof repainted. The texas heat is killing it, and after its lifted(again) it wont fit in the painting booth.

Other than that big mess of stuff. There are a few things here and there that I wanna do too. So its really a toss-up. My main priority is the lift though.

Yea mine isnt doing so hot either. i was just looking up the gears and found the 4.56 ford racing at summit for 219 and i was wondering what it would take to install them, ie if i could do it myself. didnt find that yet but im sure i could figure it out and do it when the axle is off the suspension doing the lift.

thats why i got my tires used. i paid just about what one costs new and ill still get at least a yr out of them and can use them as spares later on. but new ones are gonna kill the wallet.

another thing on our trucks im pretty sure the speedo isnt corrected by a tuner its only corrected by changing a physical gear that runs about 200 at the dealer.
