Got some $$$
Alright, I got some money now enough for the 6" Fabtech... Im getting alil shy to pull the trigger since I will have to purchase new tires and most likely wheels ( i have 17x7.5) Are 33's on a 6" just frowned upon in the truck world? haha
Another reason why Im not pulling the trigger is that I look at so much other stuff I could get. In your opinion what or what not made you choose the lift over say... Grille, exhaust, etc... I just basically think Im looking for someone to talk me into the lift. I know I want it... Why can't we have lifted trucks and good gas milage... I have a 6mpg Chevelle, I dont need a 10mpg F150 oh well that was a lil rant...

Lifting my F150 was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
You basically reap all of the benefits of a lifted truck, with very few of the negative side effects. Yes, your gas mileage will suffer slightly, but most of what people are telling you is INACCURATE. Don't listen to some idiot who never recalibrated their speedometer/odometer... Once corrected, you'll see that the only negative effect on MPG is the added weight of the tires/wheels coupled with you using more gas to compensate for the lower gearing.
I've had lifted trucks in the past and this is first one that doesn't FEEL lifted... It handles almost like it would stock. Your turning radius is slightly larger, but it has been a great experience so far.
I say, "Pull the trigger!"

Everyone on here says go for it, would it matter if I said I only have 5k on it still? Since I have 55k left on my warranty, thats what is really keepin me back. Are there any specific questions that I might be able to ask my dealer? I know about the Magnusson act and all but it seems like reality is the dealers do what they want... Im in Orlando, Fl if anyone knows of a lift friendly dealer around here... I got mine from Mullinax in Apopka

Probably will void your suspension warranty.. No biggie..
Just go for it! the only big part of the warranty i'd be worried about is engine!GO FOR IT!
DO NOT GET A 6" LIFT AND GET 33s. 6"lift+33s=UGLY. simple math.
other than that
i agree with what penguin said in that this truck doesnt "feel" lifted. Other than the performance loss, the suspension is awsome. The best part is that it looks 100x sicker
