Ok, so I have managed to save up $1600 for my lift kit. I am positive I want to run 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers on my stock rim. So, this means i will have to go with no smaller than a 4" kit. But, the thing is, 4" and 6" kits cost about the same. So, would yall go with a 4" or 6" kit?? Also, is it even possible to run stock rims with a fabtech kit? B/c I know you can with a Rancho 4" kit...

 

I'd go with the 6 inch lift for sure. I'm not positive about running OEM wheels with the Fabtech lift. However, you could fit 35x12.50 Mud Grapplers with the OEM wheels and a leveling kit on a 4x4. There will be some rubbing on the control arms at full steering lock. However, that is because of the width and backspacing of the OEM wheels. A lift kit will not cure that rubbing.

 

Rancho says you can run 35's with no rubbing at all and still run a stock wheel. I don't know if I can go with the Fabtech if you can't run stock wheels.

 

Just go with the Rancho, if you're set on the stock wheel.

 

Think there is some one in this forum that is running 35`s(bfg`s) on stock wheels. Don`t know his name. It`s a Black 2x4 with 6" fabtech & 2.5"as Lift. ??

Go with 6" inch

 

I agree, you can still run stockers with the Rancho kit.

 

I don't think the stock rims are wide enough for the 35x12.5 nittos, I have the same size tires (ATs instead of MTs though) and when I got them they had the factory stickers on them that said the acceptable rim width range was 9 to 11.5 inches

 

It'll be fine. . just rotate them religiously and keep them at the correct air pressure.

 

the stock wheels will fit. take a look at this:

i'm pretty much positive i'm going with the rancho. but the onlly thing is that the kit doesnt came with shocks. will i be fine with my stock fx4 shocks?

 

No, you need to buy new longer shocks for a 4" lift.

 

Yes, you'll need longer shocks without a doubt.

Where are you ordering the kit from that doesn't include shocks? When I ordered my Rancho 4" for my 2004 F150 it came with adjustable Ranchos.

 

i was plannin on ordering it right here:
