The Ford dealership here actually thinks I bought the truck with the lift kit already on so they don't ask any questions. They sell a lot of 150s and 250s straight off the lot with Fabtech kits as options. I'm afraid to even mention it to them cause I don't wanna jinx myself. My insurance covers everything though.
The total with kit, tires/rims & installation was about $4800.

Saw your reply to my previous question and I will be looking forward to finding out which AAL your shop guys installed on your truck.

Good thing was they offered to put an add-a-leaf in the rear to even it out...for free. I definately didn't want the "California Crawler" look! The 2nd pic is the after product. I don't know if anyone else had this problem with Fabtech.




So is it fabtech that has the aal, because i also would like to fix my stance. I have been told that 2006 f150 have change the pin configuration on the rear leafs( whatever that means ) and that there is nothing availiable for my truck yet.
So I have been wondering if I can just purchase the rear blocks that comes with the rize 8" kit?????

I am going with a Fabtech 6" kit in March, but still trying to decide which kit to go with. Will probably end up with just the basic kit since I won't ever take my 2WD truck offroading.

My KR is a 4x2 also, no off roading for me...I just always liked the look of a "lifted street truck"..no one ever gave me crap about it which is good I guess, but then again...it's my money!

No Thump I dont rub during regular driving only on hard bumps at a full turn.
This is my first truck, had I known of such kits as rize last summer I would of gone that route.
Oh well what do you do, pulling out an existing kit just to replace it with another bigger kit would not fly my fiance...
