6" fabtech + 2" autospring..

Well i want to put on a 6" fabtech lift and 2" autospring spacers on my 05 fx4.

This can be done correct? After looking at the lift and spacers i think it will, am i thinking wrong?

Next questions is.. I should be able to fit 37x13.50x17 tires under there right?

Thanks,
Nick

I couldn't really tell you for sure...I'm I think you can even fit 37x12.50 w/ a 6" if you really wanted. It will be close...but I think it's do-able. I'm also entertaining the idea.

I'm going to run 2in Tuff country coil spring spacers w/ a pro comp 6in kit with a add a leaf in the rear.

There is a couple people I've talk to and had no porblems with this setup.

I'm going to run 37x13.50x20 toyo open M/T with MB gunner 6 wheels should be done it a month or so.

If ya get the Dirt Logics when you order the Fabtech kit, they end up costing like $600. They just substitute the Dirt Logics in place of the Fabtech shocks for the front.

well i have a 6" procomp with the dirtlogic coilovers, because as i posted before with the coil spacer and daystar, heavy off road caused the coil to fail and bend. now with the new coilovers performance offroad is amazing. that being said i also am looking to fit 37x13.30R17's on my truck and have seen it done but am curious as to if it will rub during offroad use.
also make sure you have a add-a-leaf in the rear so the front and rear are level. hopefully my tires i will get next month, but if you get some 37's i deffinatly want to see pics of how close they are to the fender during flex

So, youre really only looking at a difference of $500.

As for being a stiffer ride, they way I look at it is, since you're not gonna crank them down, meaning compressing the coil, the ride should be better. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong here.
