which lift should i get?
i was thinking about a fabtech 31/2 lift but dont want to pay $1400 bucks for parts and install at 4wheelparts. talked to a guy at camburg and they are much cheaper and he says that i could fit 35's on my f150 with a 3inch coil and a-arm kit. does that sound right? Does any one have this kit on their F150.
thanks,
J.D.

JDM,
The fabtech kits is also a coil and A arm..They are the same, just different companies...By the way what did the other cost....My fabtech lift cost me 1250.oo...Spindles install cost about 1000.
Also I dont think the 35s will fit with just the 3 1/2 lift...Dave

You sound like me. I want the lift, but don't want the empty wallet (already have that!) I'm going to do the following:
3 inch body lift $140
2 inch leveling coils $200
For about $350 I'm gonna end up with 5 inches of lift in the front and a little beefier suspension. I had the same setup on my 96 Ranger and I loved it. Just my 2 cents.

You forgot to mention new tires. It would be a sin to lift and not get bigger tires and/or new wheels.
Actually, I can't talk too much, I did the spindle lift over a month ago and still have my stock tires. But, I will have my new ones in less than a month. Can't wait.

Hey, JDm, I just talked to the guys over there at Camburg, and they said it would only be $150 to install their 3" coil, shock, and arm kit, which is only $750 to begin with. Sounds like that would be about $350 cheaper than the Fabtech 3 1/2" kit. They were really cool also. I have a couple of friends that have Camburg kits on their trucks, and they love them. I think I will be taking a trip up to Huntington Beach in a couple of months.
