I have a 2003 F150 FX4 Single Cab, Short wheel base, step side with the "overpowering" 4.6l....haha....Anyway, I am wanting to put a lift on and have decided to go with a 4 inch. Now I just need some suggestions on who would be the best to go through due to the fact that all you guys know everything....Thanks...oh yeah, what size tires would work on that....I already have 305/70r/16's BFG AT's with the American Racing Atlas rims....obvioulsly I will go bigger....hook me up fellas!!!!

 

rancho 4" lift.

 

sdf150guy is correct. As far as I know the 4" Rancho suspension lift is the only 4" available. At least that is the only one I could find for my 2003 SuperCrew.

 

Love my Rancho 4"

 

Was going to go with the Rancho lift but opted for the 5" RCD w/ the Bilstein shocks...couldn't be happier

I was quoted 3500.00 today for the following: 6inch Fabtech Lift and 5 Mickey Thompson A/T's and all the labor....how does that sound....plus a warranty on all the work

 

oops

 

$3500 seems a bit high. I have the same set up with different tires. 2000 4x4 with 6" fabtech and 315/75/15 BFG A/T. The cost of the lift was 2000 and the tires were 700, installed. YOu didn't break out the price of the lift and the Mickey T's, but the tires may be what is pushing the price up.

Take a look at my pics and it will give you an idea of what you are in for.

Dont forget he is getting 5 tires and I dont know if that includes new rims or not. Also clearman17, youve got to remember that your going to have to spend somewhere areound 900 bux to get BOTH axles regeared preferably to 4.56 to get the lost power from the taller, heavier tires.

 

pro comp also makes a 4 inch lift u can toss 315 70 r16= 35s on them.

 

i think 3500 is way to high, i mean 4wheel parts fabtech 7.5 inch lift is 1300 and i see fabtech kits 7 inch on ebay for 900 bucks. my 3.5 cost me 740 with tax and my tires i got hooked up for 920 with my black rock crawlers 16x8 with gorilla lugs and locks and computer balanced. i go to this excellent shop in so cal in huntington beach called s and s fabrications. guy is very very good had has years in the business. if anyone needs more info on that shop i will tell ya some more. but install was only 400 bucks and he did it in 24s.

 

Fireres...

Clearman is looking for info for his 4x4. The 7.5" Fabtech lift you are refering to is for the 4x2's. 4x4 are more expensive to lift than 4x2's.

 

Prices very so much.....I paid $1,450 shipped for my 6'' Fabtech
and I put it on my self. My local 4x4 shop wanted $900 to install
it. So Clearman if you havent bought a lift already I would just install it your
self its fairly easy All you need is couple buddys, some tools and about
10-14 hrs
If you went with or go with the Fabtech 6'' you will be surprised on how nice
it installs. No regrets

the rancho 4" lift, will 35" (on stock rims) require trimming and/or will they rub? i have a 2004 f-150 2.5" daystar leveler.
