no but with the coilovers you gain height as well, if you crank them up you can gain another 2-3", just like adding a leveling kit, but you cannot do coilovers and leveling kit, if you have the money and choice, coilovers ride a million times better, hope it helps

I was wondering the same thing myself. I have an 06 SCREW XLT that I will be adding a 6" Fabtech to in March. Are the coilovers that important though to us 2WD truck owners who do no offroading? I am thinking about just going with a 6" basic lift and my 2.5" AS leving kit and an AAL in the rear.

You might wanna invest in an add-a-leaf for the rear. I got the 6" Fabtech kit and the rear still sat down 2" lower than the front. Got it "fixed" 2 weeks later. Check out my gallery.

Ive always had good stuff from Fabtech. I had lift spindles on my old 98 f1 and bent beams on my old 94 ranger, both were Fabtech.

325/65r18 which to my understanding work out to be a 35x13 tire. From what I read they should fit after the lift is installed. I am just trying to decide whether to leave the leveling kit on or take it off. If I leave it on I will have to go with an AAL which runs up my cost and takes away from my ability to add an XCal with Troyer tunes. Decisions, decisions.
