I'd go with the 6 inch Fabtech.
If you mean drive shaft, I've never, ever seen a post here about a broken drive shaft on a stock, lifted or lowered truck.

yeah i would go with the fabtech and i also have never seen a broken shaft...have you seen how big our shafts are?

that sounds dirty huh

w3tw1lly 02-26-2009 03:06 AM

yes but I meant that the shaft join will be very inclined and could break ?
and with the Fabtech, I need absolutely the DIRT LOGIC 2.5 COILOVERS or basic giving with kit its good ?
thx :)

Basic Fabtech is all you need. You'll need aftermarket rims with no more than 5" of backspacing though too.

I want to put tire 35" and rims 20"

get a fabtech 6" basic kit, its a great kit with no problems.

whoever told you that your shafts will be bad angles was wrong and has never seen a truck with a lift before. Im assuming your talking about your CV shafts. they will look like they are at the factory angles once you lift it.

If you were to buy a 4" rancho and add a 2" AS spacer it will put your suspension components at a steeper angle but nothing to bad. but your best bet is to go with a 6" with some 35's.

You can get 20" wheels but they must be 5" or less backspacing to run them on your truck, so your stock wheels will not work after you lift it.

what language do you speak??? :confused:

either lift will work for 35's and 20's, i'm running the rancho and its a great kit. but if the fabtech is cheap, i'd go with that and get another inch or so of lift. the ONLY way i would initially go with a rancho and a spacer is the fact i can use the stock wheels. for winter, i'm running 35x12.50's on the gay stock clad 17's, just another benefit of rancho.

and sry i meant with a Rancho 4" w/ body lift 2" and not AS 2"

tlt008 02-27-2009 06:15 AM

Ya know I didn't see in here anywhere where you said what year/model/drive truck you had. What is it?

w3tw1lly 02-27-2009 09:57 AM

f-150 XLT 2004 4x4 5.4L :)

wandell 02-27-2009 12:11 PM

Well you decision is easier since no one makes a 2 inch body lift for the 04-08's.
