Question How To Check Backspacing?!?!?

I bought a used 6" Fabtech Lift for my 2wd f150 crew cab. What is the backspacing needed for this kit? I cant find it on there website. How do you check the backspacing on my rims?

Thanks

I wanna say that Fabtech requires about 5" of backspacing although I'm not definite.

This website will tell you how to measure backspacing on your wheels.

Right. THe 97-03 OEM wheels, and most aftermarket wheels for them have 4.5 inches of bs. To measure backspacing just measure the distance from the wheel's mounting surface (where it bolts to the hub) to it's rear edge.
