Question JonC or Davensa?

Hey Guys, I know you have the fabtech ultimate 6.5" lift, so I was wondering if you have any pics of your trucks, with just that lift, no body lift. I need to get some perspective as to how high it is, with the 35's and such. Also, where would you reccommend I buy this lift, for the best price. Expierences? Thanks. Oh yea, as you can see I'm from my sig, I'm into 4x4's, but I'm getting a 4x2 real soon.

------------------
98 F150 4x4 ORP 5.4L Super Cab XLT, Loaded. 4" Trailmaster Suspension Lift, 35x12.50x16.5 BFG Mud Terrains, 16.5 x 9.75 Weld Racing Super Single II wheels, Stull Billet Grill and Bumper Insert, Billet Antenna, Ford Bug Guard, Custom Dual 40 series Flowmaster Exhaust out the back, Airaid FIPK, Super Chip,Tinted Windows, Ford Racing decal on Rear Slider, Ford Motorsport License Plate Frame, and a Ford Hitch Cover to top it off!

No body lift on mine, just the Fabtech 6.5"

I got mine installed at a little place called TNK automotive in Laguna Hills. they bought all the components and did the installation. I actually did it in 2 stages... control arms and springs lift first and added the spindles later so it cost me a little more than it really would have had I just had it done all at once.

Here are a couple other pics.

JonC, did you have to trim the front valence at all to fit the 35's after the 6.5" lift?

yes... I trimmed it at an angle from the top to a spot about 1.5" forward from the back edge of the stock unit. I just used piece of electrical tape as my guide and cut along that with a pair of trauma scissors I had lying around, then lightly sanded the edge to smooth it out. Easy!

I think you can see the difference if you compare your stock valance with the last picture on my post.
