If you're going with a knuckle kit there's probably none better than Fabtech and the price is right. The major advantage to the Fabtech vs others is you get a new shock for the front instead of just a spacer stacked on top of oem coilover system like many other kits have. Fabtech pretty much owns the 04+ F150 market when it comes to 6" lift kits.

^^^^^Well Said^^^^^^^ I have the 6" Fabtech kit and it is an amazing kit. It will definitely not let you down on or offroad. The largest tires you will fit without rubbing issues are 35's

fabtech is a very high quality lift for an affordable price when it comes to 6 inch lifts in my opinion...with the fabtech 6 the highest u can rub without rubbing will be 35's...my friend has the same lift and has had no problems with it

Don't worry bout it I'm 2 years older than you and there's alot of younger guys on this site. We will help you figure out whatever your questions are

As for wheels to go with the lift, it's all personal preference. Any 35" tire will fit. I love my Baja Claws, they have a real agressive look. You can't go wrong with the Toyo M/T either, they look amazing on our trucks

They are some good looking tires, but you are paying for that M/T name IMO...

Fabtech is a great lift and 35's will fit under it with absolutely no problems. I have the Pro Comp Xtreme AT's on mine and love'em. Was going to go with the Nitto Terra Grapplers, but the Pro Comps were a little thinner so I was assured of no rubbing issues when they were installed. You can look at my signature and in my gallery for plenty of pictures of my truck with the 6" lift.
