Start with a search engine. Google is good.

topguncustomz . com is awesome.

if budget is of importance, i'd look into skyjacker.

sometimes you can find pro-comp lifts for cheap(er) if you keep an eye on ebay (i've seen one go for $900)

You're going to need to replace the block that kit comes with with a Fabtech 5" block or you'll sit lower in the rear. You can pick one up from

I actually bought the 6” PERFORMANCE SYSTEM W/ DIRT LOGIC 2.5 COILOVERS.



A. Dirt Logic 2.5 Coilovers
B. Reduced Offset Steering Knuckles
C. High Arched Lower Control Arm Crossmember
D. Differential Skid Plate
E. Alignment Cam System
F. Extended Sway Bar Brackets
G. Crossmember Impact Struts
H. Optional Steering Stabilizer


$1,825.14


My local 4WheelParts.com brick & mortar store matched the price. If you have one in your neighborhood, consider walking in and asking for a price match. I know that there have been people who have had bad experiences with them. But with a chain that big, there are bound to be bad, as well as good, experiences. The guys at the one in my neighborhood all drive lifted trucks & jeeps, seem knowledgeable, and act like they're there to work with you.

But this jbccoffroad.com seems like a pretty cool place to buy things from too.

does anyone know if you can safely stack a 6" lift like the fabtech one with a levelingkit (spacer) ??

i think i saw one done like this but i wasnt sure if it would make alignment impossible or be a safety concern or.. ?

I'm guessing that it could be done. Sounds like all that you would have to do is put the leveling kit spacer on top of the adjustable coilover. I wouldn't do it though. You void your Ford warranty on the suspension by installing a lift. Then you void your Fabtech warranty by stacking on a spacer. The coilovers are adjustable. Crank them up a little more if you need to.

If you get the standard Fabtech lift, you can install a leveling kit with it. If you upgrade to the Dirt Logic coilovers, you won't need to because they are already adjustable.

yep here's mine with the Basic kit. If you go with the coilovers you won't need the spacer.
