Needing a few questions answered that I have not seen in the forums yet. I have a 2002 supercrew 2wd. I have ordered the Fabtech 7.5" crossmember lift and a PA 3" body lift. I should have done a little more research on the tires and wheels but I have ordered 17 x 8.5" wheels with the stock -6mm BS and BFG 315 x 70 x 17 tires that may be the best but it's a done deal. Any way my questions are:

1.) Will the stock gearing be okay with the 35" tire? I do have a camper I pull that is about 7000# loaded (which will be pulled from the reciever not the bumper). What about shift points?

2.) With the fabtech lift and body lift will there be any brake line, tranny line problems or is there enough slack?

3.) I am doing the install myself, can this be done (both) in three days or should I plan on two weekends? I have air tools and a pretty good wrencher...

Thanks for any feed back!

The body lift doesn't cause any problems with the brake lines. If the Fabtech kit does, they will be addressed by the kit. As for gearing, what engine and gears do you have now?

 

5.4 with 3:55 or 3:73, I have the tow package, but not sure on the gearing, I will have to go look.

The 5.4 with 3.55 gears and 35 inch tires is about the limit. That's what I have.
