Hey guys, $700 price difference for the coil-over system as compared to the coil spacers. Any opinions? I know fabtech is well respected on this board and I will talk to my local 4 wheel parts about pricing on it. Right now I just want to decide which Pro Comp to compare it to.

Also, I believe the stock back-spacing is 5.5. 4 Wheel parts suggests 4.75 with the pro comp lift because of the larger knucles or something like that. Just wanted to get ideas what back spacing people are using on a 6 " lift. I want to minimize the amount the tires stick out.


This is for my 06 FX4 SCREW being delivered in a few/several weeks.

 

If you are planing to do alot of off-roading go with the aftermarket coilovers, I mean like offroading that cycles the shocks up and down constantly, But If you are doing it for looks and minor offroading like trail riding and a few mud holes here and there save your it.money and just get the stage 1 kit.
BTW, I recommend going with fabtech instead of procomp.
Fabtech- Give you new shocks for the front (longer), Procomp gives you a larger spacer
Fabtech- gives you a welded subframe for the front, Procomp give you a cold rolled subframe
Fabtech- gives you a larger block for the rear, Procomp gives you block to put on top of your stock block
For the couple of $100 you would save on the procomp, Fabtech make up for in Quallity

 

Personally, I'd go with the Fabtech. Also, I would try to stay close to the OEM backspacing of 5 1/2 inches.

 

Bingo, but if your set on the Procomp definatly get the coil-overs.
