I am going to be ordering a fabtech 6in. lift the performance style (not the basic style). I was wondering what other parts I may need to buy, like leveling kits or single or dual steering stabilizer or anything not included i should purchase??

 

Performance is there basic lift. There "upgraded" lift comes with Dirt Logic Coilovers up front, and Dirt Logic shocks out back. Just so ya know, bud.

You don't NEED anything else. Kit comes with everything ya need to get her running and moving. The Steering stabalizer's would be nice (but not needed). They will help driving over rutted roads, or big pot holes. Helps prevent "bump steer" , and cuts down on any tiny vibration caused by the big lugs on the tires.

Leveling kit is only needed if your wanting to run bigger tires. Again, not needed. If you do want a leveling kit, I would also look into either the Fabtech 5" rear block, or an AAL setup. But, if you really did get the Dirt Logic adjustable Coilovers, then the levling kit wouldn't work. You could just crank the coild up for 2 more inches.

Might also want to look into rear traction bars. With the lifts, the light rear end of our trucks tends to "hop" around a little bit more. Traction bars will help keep your rear planted, giving needed traction. I kno I will be buying a set. Pro-Comp makes some good ones I believe, but others are out there.

 

i had no clue the performance was there basic i thought they were 2 differnet but geuss i was wrong. what are you running on your truck is it the same that im looking to buy

 

you said that i would only need the leveling kit to run bigger tires..i plan on running 35x12.5x16 should i put the leveling kit on it or just run without or do you thing it would look to sloped.

 

Yup, think so. I am running there 6" "Performance" lift with rear "performance" shocks.

Basic package all the way around. So far, has held up to a GOOD amount of abuse. Got 5k on it so far, no problems.

You can always buy aftermarket shocks later down the road, if ya want. I know I will be, but the price was right and I figured I could spread the money out a little bit more, going with the Basic.

Also, depending on who your talking to, sometime they will allow you to upgrade just the rear shocks. This would make it Dirt Logic shocks out back, and "basic" lift up front. That set-up *may* help keep the rear planted (instead of traction bars)

Also, I have made a pretty big mistake. Your running the 2000 Ford F150 right ? Then you don't have the coilovers ! My mistake ! I am sorry for any confusion ! (feel like a dumb *** :o )

Are you 4x4 ? or 4x2 ?

 

yea its a 2000 f150 4x4 with a 5.4L..

 

Alright, then yes, the 6" lift will be plenty to get you to clear the 35" meats !

If need be, you also have front torsion bars, that you can slowly crank up to give added front lift height.

And I am pretty sure the "Performance" lift is all they offer for that year and model. Its a good kit. You'll be stoked.
