Fabtech 6" lift....Block size??

Does the basic fabtech 6" lift have a 4" block in the rear or 2"?? I at first thought and had heard it had a 4" block but for some reason i thought i read it may have a 2" block, if this is the case then i need to order a 4" to replace the 2" because that will not be enough height for my truck...just let me know if anyone knows, the lift is for a 2006 2wd f150. Thank you

I've been on the phone all week talking about lifts. I'm "thinking" the one I ordered for my 05 4x4 comes with 4". This is what I'm told. Don't know about the 2wd kit? I went ahead and ordered a pro comp AAL so I can add 1.5"/2" if needed in the rear.

duff you need to remember though your 2" PA is a BL for the ENTIRE truck, my 3" skyjacker AAL is just for the REAR so theres a difference, i just already have a 2.5" spacer up front so i needed the AAL to even it back out.

the shocks might not be long enough then just ask your installer they will know.

alls, i was figuring the shocks will be close to long enough, i know they are long enough with the 4" block, but i just dont know with the AAL. I am hoping they will be ok, i dont do a ton of offroading so they wont be fully extended much, but if they are not long enough, ill ask them to leave off the AAL and order new shocks i guess and have that installed later. i am hoping it will work though, otherwise it will be a ton of added hassle. we will see, itll be close!!

Im pretty sure the 2WD kits come with a 2" block, I'm not sure though. Why would you need a 4" block and a 3" AAL with the 6" Fabtech. Thats going to sit really bad, butt up in the air for sure!

thump im putting 2.5" as up front with the 6 in lift giving me 8.5" up front, and then i am adding a 4" block and 3"aal in rear for 7" in rear, making it pretty much level, correct me if i am wrong, but that would put me a little high in rear (about .5-1" higher in rear, which is exactly what i want....i am hoping its a 4" block,, thump why would it only be 2", wouldnt i be higher in the front with only 2" in rear??
