I have a '04 F150 4wd and i want to put a 6 in suspension lift on it....Which lift is better Pro comp or Fabtech.....I want it as high as i can get it without spending to much money...Is there anything else i could do to make it higher?.....im gunna put 35x12.50x17 Pro comp Xterrains on it..... What do the Fabtech Dirtlogic Coilovers do for trucks...is it worth the money if my truck isnt off road much

 

first off get the fabtech much better kit.... if you want it higher put a AS leveling kit on top of the kit they only cost $100.... you might want to get a little bigger tire if you put the spacer on there it might look funny, or aleast a little wider of a tire.

 

Either kit will clear 35's with ease but as far as which kit to get go with the Fabtech because you get a new shock for the front and as stated earlier can always put a leveling kit later. With Pro Comp you get a spacer instead of a shock which is just dumb in my opinion. Not to mention the quality and looks of the crossmembers

 

i don't really like the look of the pro comp but the fabtech with just dirt logic suspension is really good and you can find it for a good price at 4wheelonline.com

I wanted to know what do you people think about the new pro comp with MX 2.75C diameter coil over shocks and MX6 adjustable rear shock here is the link

is the top on and cost $1959.23

 

Fabtech

Personally I don't like the 6" spacer that the Pro Comp system uses. Go with Fabtech, it's not that much more than the Pro Comp, but looks wayyyyyy better.

 

KansasJoe, iam running the pro comp spacer lift on my 2wd. iam looking to add half of the daystar leveling kit. only the spacer that goes into the coil spring assembly, not the one where the pro comp spacer already rests. think i will be cool w/ this setup?

also, since you have some expirience with this. you think i can run a 20x10 wheel w/ 4.5" of backspace wrapped in a 37x13.50 tire with 6" suspension with 1.5" daystar installed and a 3" body lift. total of 10.5"s of lift. thanks bro.

 

I'm not real familiar with the 4x2's as far as tire sizes but you'll be good with the daystar kit with a -25 offset on the wheels so you'll be plenty good there and I'd imagine the 37's should be ok with body lift, suspension lift and daystar combo but you'll probably need a 4x2 guy to chime in just to verify. I've only installed one of the 4x2 kits vs about 40 of the 4x4 kits so I would say yes but not positive.

 

I have your truck with the pro comp spacer kit. i love it so far. think it rides great and the price difference is enough to look into!

 

thanks alot man, so i should be fine adding the spacer into the coil to achieve the 1.5" of lift? iam just worried about angles and balljoints.

 

FabComp

 

Well, I can't say anything bad about fabtech but I can tell you that I have the procomp lift and I'm very happy with it. Also you don't have to get the spacer, they do make a kit with coilover replacements as well. It's more $ than the kit with the spacer of course, but then so is the fabtech kit. I got the skidplate for mine for $170 delivered and since the lift already has mounts for it, it took all of 20 mins to install (and I like it).
Here is a pic

 

Will fabtech 6" system still allow you to use the oem wheels. Its a 01 screw 4x4

 

I'm very happy with my Fabtech, the one thing I don't like about Pro Comp are the huge spacers.

 

Yes, you can use the OEM wheels with the 6 inch Fabtech lift on the 97-03's. I'm not sure about the 04-07's.

 

Go with Fabtech. You'll be happy.
