ok well sorry to sound rude but how does the kit your getting compare to the rize in clearance issues? the crossmember for the rize will give you the same clearance as a fabtech, procomp , bds, skjacker and etc. But correct me if im wrong? I mean with all lifts you still have to drop the front as well so what is the difference really? Bigger tires yeah thats about it but when you do an sas yeah you will get clearance out (due to the fact you can get better flex out of it )of that unless you go with like a 10" or 12" rize or whatever lift and running 38s or 40s

 

IFS wins out in ground clearance over SFA setups, given the same tire size. unfortunately, most of the ground clearance gained with an IFS drop down subframe bracket is lost due to the presence of the crossmember being bolted below the frame. the oversized tires are what provide the true ground clearance gained.

Long travel IFS systems that contain new upper and lower control arms skip the subframe approach, and leave the front differential in its stock mounting point, thus providing the best ground clearance available.

 

Pics??? Update?????

 

BLACKNIGHT,

Hoping tomorrow. Once the kit was opened, last friday, they found 2x driver side knuckles. The passenger side one is being overnighted, but the entire kit has been installed and is sitting on a lift waiting for this one part =( Pics will follow shortly after I wash the truck, and clean my pants from the ride home =)

 

Hey my FORD bros! new member just got my new 09FX4 two months ago had it leveled k&n kit flows to flow better programmer to let loose those hidden ponies bug guard and window deflectors to stand out and just got my Toyos MT 285/75/18 35s on my stock wheels that dont rub and i did test them out but now i wont to look for a lift kit that wont break the bank not body kit any help?

 

anyone home?

 

Sweet!! You just might be my inspiration to go with 22s instead of 20s. Im just worried about the wear and tear on the tranny and motor. Let me know how the truck feels.

if you are looking for a lift on a budget, I would go with a Pro Comp stage 1 lift. Nice lift at a good price.

 

thanks BLACKNIGHT I'll look that up

 

hey guys i was going to get a rancho 4'' suspention but keep hearing bad things about their product. I had liked it due to the fact that I"ll be able to keep my factory wheels and tires are not a problem 285-75-18s (35s)and they dont rub they have been tested by yours truly. BDS has a 6" and they claim no matter what happens even if im in a accedent they ll replace any parts or part that breaks for free for as lone as i own the truck.Has there been any negative stuff or is there anything that i need to expect from doing this 6" lift? Oh before i forget im getting the 6" at the same price as the 4"

 

Hey Blackknight did you get your lift going?

 

Not yet Gabe. Still trying to work out a deal with the shop. How about you?

 

Hey Blackknight! Hey bro just ordered my suspention kit 6" BDS and i get to keep my factory wheels too. Have on 285-75-18s which comes to 35s lift comes in in three days!!
