i have a 98 2wd extended cab f150

my original lift plan was to get the 1.5 inch level, 3.5 inch spindle, 3 inch body lift, and 3 inch rear blocks

but now im kind of wanting to just go with the fabtech 7.5 inch suspension

i want at least 7 inches of lift.
any suggestions??

 

either of those combinations is a good choice but the first one is cheaper.

 

While the first one is cheaper, later on you will regret not going with the fabtech kit first. My vote is for the fabby 7.5" then a 3" BL.

 

3.5 spindle, 3.5 coils, 2 inch shackles, and 4 inch blocks

and add a 3 inch body lift too

 

Just got the fabtech route, you can't run coils over 2" without new upper control arms.

 

if i do the fabtech lift would i need it realigned?

 

Sounds good for the lift, all you need to add is a 4x4. lol jk

 

Anytime you make changes to the front you should get an alignment

 

yeah you can

 

Yes, but your front end alignment won't be within specs.

 

Yeah don't listen to this guy! Technically speaking you can, but properly there is no way!

 

ha 3.5" coils that upper A arm would be straight up and down touching the coil

 

Yea you'd be at a horrible angle with a 3.5" coil and no new upper control arms, and you'd probably never ever be able to get it aligned anywhere close to where it needs to be. Just go fabtech 7.5 and then 3" bodylift. If that still isn't enough for you then put a 1.5" coil spacer in there too. That should have you clearing 37's and tucking 38's depending on brand of wheel, tire, backspacing, etc..

 

alright sounds good everyone thx for the feedback

 

^^Agreed! That is the set I have and I'm running 37's with room for a 38
