6" Fabtech

Hey all. Long time reader, first time poster. I have gotten a lot of info on the many susp. lifts out there & decided to go with the Fabtech 6" basic with the regular shocks. Im going to install this next weekend.

I have an 05 2wd Super Crew and I'm going to put 35x12.5-17 rubber down. My question is...will the truck sit level ( I dont want any rake whatsoever)? Will I have to buy spacers or will just the lift suffice? If I need spacers, I would like to get them so I can install at the same time. I have searched & read many post, but I cannot find the answer to this particular question. Are the spacers required just for tires over 35".

Any & all help is greatly appreciated. Pics of the fabtech lift with & without spacers would be a great bonus.

Thanks in advance.......Iric

I have a 6" procomp and my truck sits leveled. The lift is higher in the front than the back.

You just contradicted yourself dude. You said your truck sits leveled and the lift is higher in the front then the back. Anyways to the original poster. If you want your truck to sit leveled you will need the 4 inch block installed. The kit comes with a 2 inch block will have the front sitting way taller then the rear. If you would like a slight rake for which is good for towing and hauling I'd go with the 5 inch block.

what I mean is the lift in the front is 6" while in the back it is 4"

front is lifted higher to level the truck
