6" lift questions...

i've got a 2.5" leveling kit on my 05 fx4 supercrew and just decided today to get a suspension. i'm still debating but i think 6"s will be good. I don't want HUGE. Also with a 6" what size tires could i fit? Any advice or recommendations is much appreciated!

Fabtech is one of the best 6" lift out there. That is what im planning on going with. You can run 35s with the 6" or if you wanted to leave the leveling kit on you could run 37s

i am running a 6" RCD lift. with any 6" lift, you can run a 35" tire. right now i am still running my 33's until there wear out or sell, but they still look ok on the lift. i really like the RCD lift.... it costs a little more, but comes with bilstein shocks, extended braided stainless brake lines, axle and driveshaft spacers, uses a single 5" block in the rear so you dont stack them. the overall quality is awesome...... im very happy with it.

my vote is for the procomp stage 2. for all you rookies, this is different than they stage 1 stacked kit, it is a complete coilover replacement and comes with nice shocks and can be cranked an inch and a half for clearance of 37s if desired. ive had absolutely no problems with mine and it rides great.

my DL 2.5's are cranked 2 1/2"s and they ride smooth still, its a little jarry over bumps in the road but for the most part the ride is great.
