ok i am very new to this stuff and was wondering

whats the difference in the coilover lifts and the other ones.

talking about the fabtech 6 inch.

 

is anyone going to answer my question on here? its been on here for at least 2 days.

 

Your question was pretty vague and lift kits are a pretty big subject for a question that really wasn't too specific.

 

The difference is that on coilover lifts the front shocks are adjustable.

 

so wich one would provide a more comfortable ride??

and im sorry if it was vague.. i didnt know how to put it.

i know nothing about this stuff.

sorry

 

"Coilover" means a shock with a coilspring mounted on it. The 04-08 F-150's use independendant front suspension (IFS) with coilover shocks. A coilover lift would refer to a lift kit for a truck with this type of suspension. What type of truck do you have?

 

i have the 2004 new model f150

 

Your truck has coilover suspension then. How much do you want to lift it? Is it a 4x4 or 4x2?

 

its a 4x4 and i wnt to lift it 6 inches

 

Then you can get a 6" lift from one of several manufacturers out there...FabTech, RCD, Pro Comp, RoughCountry, etc, etc. You need a budget first because you can get a basic lift that retains the stock coil over, or you can go full blown with new trick coil overs. Gets pricey.

 

agreed

 

RIght. The standard 6 inch Pro Comp lift is a good kit and is relatively inexpensive. However, it retains your OEM coilover shocks by use of a special spacer. You can later upgrade to heavy duty adjustable coilover shocks and replace the oem coilover/spacer combo. A lot of the other kits come with a longer replacement coilover shock, but they cost more money.

 

well i really want a fabtech.

and i really dont have a limit on spending.

but i dont want to spend toooo to much on one.

i want the new shocks and everything for a good and better ride.

i want to have a smoother ride

 

I would suggest getting the 6" Fabtech dirtlogic coilover lift. It allows you to crank the front coils up 2 more inches to get 8"s of lift in the front so you can run 37's, but if you decide to run 37's then you will need to regear and get an add-a-leaf for the rear. So i would suggest the 6" fabtech dirtlogic coilover lift and run 35's, they usually run right around $2,200 or you can get the basic 6" fabtech for around $1,600.

I agree.
