thank you, well i am getting the fabtech myself, and i am curious are the dirt logic coilovers and shocks really worth the money??? I mean over the basic 6" lift, i know they make the ride better, and i am guessing they are needed if you offroad a large amount, but my truck is a 2wd for one thing and wont be going off road often, so i figure i could probably get away with the basic lift due to that fact, and then i have the money to get an edge, an airaid jr, leaf springs for the rear, and maybe a body lift as well. I just was curious, because if its that big of a difference, i will work a little overtime and spring for the extra dirt logic shyt. Thank you all.

spinnintires,
i realize you have a 2wd so Im sure procomplariat or txf150 will probably be most help to you... and could tell you what size tires you would be able to clear.
but to give you an idea of the difference in ride height look at Dave's truck on the left without coilovers and josiah's truck in the middle with coilovers. Dont know about the rear dirt logics and if they are worth it but I definetily will get coilovers with the fabtech if I dont get 8" rize

tx, could you do me a favor and measure the height to the bottom of your side mirror, i am trying to get some idea what the fabtech 6" and 35's will do to the height of my truck, that would be really helpful if you could, thank you!

also, if i did not get the coilovers now, and added them later would it be a lot more money, not buying them with the kit, if i were a little strained on money, and am i correct that the coilovers give you about 2" height in the front because if thats the case, then i will be sitting extremely high in the front.
