I am thinking of getting a 6" fabtech lift with 35s. I am worried about it not being high enough. Could i throw a 2"/3" body lift and get 37s/38s? I would def be interested in that but worried wont pass inspection and lot of money for bigger brakes/re-gear/moving exhaust tips?

What do u think?

 

what inspection???

ive seen f-150s with 6 inches of lfit on 38's.....a truck on www.n-fab.com was....it was a f-150 like yours...

but to be safe id say 6 inch plus 2/3 inch body

 

patshea-the inspection sticker you need to get every year.

 

why would u not pas inspection with a lift kit? if that was the case all these new trucks u see lifted would be illegal

 

allrsdup-in ma there is some rule where you times your wheel base x your wheel track and divide by 2200 and that is how much you are allowed to lift. Is there anyway to get around that?

Do u think it is worth it to go 6" lift with body lift and 38's. I will have to get bigger brakes and regear right? Cost of those two things

 

Any answeres here?

 

I know you guys have answers please

 

i have heard that maine is rough with the laws, u should do a google search on it to get the exact laws before u make up your mind. i think u should just go 6" kit with 35's honestly. i hate the look of body lifts. plus the cost of 38's instead of 35's is way more money, that is unless money is no objest to u. bodylift is 300 plus around 400-700 to have it installed. 38's u will need to regear to keep the truck moving well. i have 37's it aint a slug but i have decided i will regear. front and back should cost around 1000 installed i hear.

 

i will do 6" fabtech lift. Do you recommend the $200 shock upgrade

 

i recommend the shock upgrade.

 

def upgrase the shocks

 

Most of them are illegal (where I live, Oregon). The simple fact that your hub center is below your bumper level, make's it illegal here, the cops REQUIRE mud flaps if your center line is below the bumper. Sucky state I live in.

 

wow your right that does suck, its actually rediculous.

 

add gap guards and you will never kno the body lift is there. and idk where your getting your numbers but here u can get a bodylift installed for 400-500 including the kit...performance acccessories. Fordwitflows i would go with a 6in fabtech and some 35s to start off. get the shock upgrade. if ur not happy with that get a 3in body lift put on with some 37s or 38s.

 

including the lift kit 4-500? the lift kit alone is 300 so your telling me they install it for 100 bucks? i dont think so, especially for the newer f150s. and i dont care if u get gap gaurds or not u still see that the frame under the truck is lower then it should be. it looks like sh** and your spare and your hitch and your exhaust is all hanging down. no good for me looks cheap in my opinion but to each his own.
