Project: 2001 6” Fabtech 3” PA on 38” Toyo's ** LOTS OF PICS 56K NO WAY**

****UPDATE: FINISHED PICS ON PAGE 3****

Truck OEM specs: 2001 Ford F-150 Supercrew Lariat 4x4 Off-Road Edition. 5.4 liter, 9.75” rear with 3.55 LS. 90,000 miles. All stock when purchased in Dec 2008.

All Stock:


Current Build Specs:
  • 6” Fabtech Suspension Lift
  • 3” Performance Accessories Body Lift with Gap Guards
  • 4.88 Genuine Gears
  • 38x14.50x16 Toyo M/T Tires
  • 16x10 **** Cepek DC-1 Polished Wheels (4.5” Backspacing)
  • Pro-Comp Add-A-Leaf (haven't installed yet)
  • Fabtech Driveshaft Spacer
  • Cranked T-bars up +1" over stock height
Plan on getting a Fabtech steering stabilizer eventually.
Getting my edge from my 2007 lease truck reprogrammed to a Gryphon in the next few weeks also so it will work for this '01, thanks to Power Hungry Performance.

Installed 6” Fabtech suspension lift kit in this thread I made over in the 97-03 forums.

Just got the 4.88 Genuine Gears installed yesterday






Wheels Tires are being mounted and balanced today


Body lift is scheduled for 7:00 am this Saturday the 28th. Can't wait to put it all together! I'll be posting some pics of the body lift progress on Saturday and hopefully some finished pics as well.

Stay Tuned!!

haha nice. Mine had about 5% left on them when I bought my AT's. How hard was it to install the Fabtech? You look like youve got a pretty decent shop to work in...and a lift.

The Fabtech install was a walk in the park. Did that at home in my shop without a lift. Just some air tools.

I work at a Ford dealership so there are plenty of lifts to use. That is where me and a tech from work are doing the body lift at. I can't wait!!

Thanks! Your truck has been one of my inspirations in choosing this setup.

Cecil you've gone above and beyond this club. If anything, I'd love to ditch the setup I'm running now and go your route.

well you can always wait till im tired of my set up and ill sell it as a kit... Its a bolt on.

It would take alittle modification to fit your truck but not too much.

eventually ill be going 2.5 ton 4 link and 54's but thats probably 5 or 6 years away.

I really like the look of your truck though, cant wait to see another one similar.

keep up the good work.
