ok this is stupid cus i should know the anwser. But does fabtech make an 8" suspension lift for a 2001 F150 4x4. does anybody make one?thanks

 

not sure about fabtech but i know rize makes one

 

Simple fabtech does not make a 8" lift for the 4x4 F150. however you can crank you torsion bars to get 2" and that would be like 8".

And no Rize does not make a 8" lift for the 97-03 F150's

 

Full Throttle Suspension and Bulletproof Suspensions make some huge lifts for the 97-03's.

 

k thx, got any links to the lowest priced ones?

 

Search around near you. Fabtech 6" is your best bet if you plan on taking this truck off road the kit will run 1500-2000 if you install it yourself.
Id go to 4wheelparts.com and compair their prices with other places! Usually they run high but IMO they do good work (at least here in tampa)

However as Wandell mentioned whiplash and full throttle make rediculously tall lifts if going this route go Full Throttle. These kits are more for show then offroading! IMHO
If you go this route google search the name and their home page comes up and you can check from there!

Make sure you post pictures!

 

why don't you just get a 6'' fabtech and throw a 3'' body lift on top of it? This would be better suited for performance. i know a guy with this setup on 38'' mickey thompson's that beats the **** out of his truck offroading, and it has held up. he's had this setup for several years as well.

 

x2 With a whiplash suspension lift you will be replacing parts left and right, and probably will have the same result with full throttle.

And also he wasnt askin about them, they just got brought into it.... Thanks Wandell.... hehehehe

 

my original play was to go 6" then 3" body with 38x 15.5's but idk i hear that body lift will kill my mpg's

 

son any lift is going to kill your MPG...well not so much your lift, but bigger tires is what kills it.

 

all a body lift does is lift the body off the frame, it won't affect your mpg anymore than a standard suspension lift.

 

haha i think its hilarious when people say thier lift made their mpg worse, its the tires the lift has nothing to do with it, other then possibly a slight increased air resistance

 

well ya i no tires will lol, idk i gotta make up my mind, i just dont wanna get any less than like 7 or 8 mpg's

 

Just keep in mind, regearing will bring your MPG up. If you plan on running 38's you are going to need 4.88's. With 36's-37's you can use 4.56's!

 

i kill for 8...not really I get about 11.5 after 33's and no re-gear

edit and that is city driving. I got 15 on the highway this weekend!!!!
