For the 2005 4WD.....is there any negatives/downsides to the 6 inch fabtech kit for it??

 

Would you make up your freakin' mind already!?

Just get the damn thing, your not going to experience any problems with any well known lifts as long as its installed correctly.

 

haha im not buying any of this untill about may.....im gettin as much info on everyhting in the mean time......well i mean ive heard things lik the CV angle is extremely high or something idk....

 

Fabtech widens your front stance by 1 inch on each side and the front is higher than the rear(like a pre-runner) Also with the fabtech, the driveshaft needs to be rebalanced. if you can live with that then the Fabtech along with the Rancho are considered by many to be two of THE BEST and more expensive lifts for the newr F150's.

 

yea ive heard about the re-balancing....but that shouldnt be anything major.....i jsut swore i heard something about the CV shaft being at an exterme angle or somehting..mabye it was on another subject tho haha

 

No, they are at more of an angle than the Rancho. Allowing the Rancho to use a bigger leveling kit ontop of the suspension lift without problems. Basically, IMO you could squeeze more 'safe/reliable' lift out of the Rancho. They are both GREAT lifts, just flip a coin.

 

Hey ThumperMX113 I used a few pics of your truck for another member looking at lifts on another thread. Hope you don't mind. If it's not cool I'll delete the pictures. I would go with the Rancho because of reputation and you don't have to rebalance anything that I know of(from what I have read)

 

Nope, its fine.

 

Thanks

 

Now that it's 2006 any problems fabtech had with the kit should be fixed, if their were any problems in the first place.

 

so if you had a leveling kit on your truck prior to adding the fabtech, would you want to take it off since the fabtech makes the front higher?

 

Yes, unless you wanted to leave it on and add a 5" block in the rear for even more height.

 

well if i put a 5 inch block in back with a 3 inch leveling kit on the front (i have seen one) on top of the fabtech kit.....how many inches of lift would you say id be sitting on? front and rear.

 

Honestly, I'd go with at most a 1-1/2" or 2" Autospring leveling kit.

 

alrite but still how much lift would i b on top of...
