I have an 06 F150 with 152k miles and will be adding an RCD 6" lift to it. My question is what are all the wear items in the front end I should look at replacing while I have the front apart. I figured lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and upper control arms. Am I missing anything? Also the RCD kit comes with Billstien 5100's that are adjustable for 4.5 or 6" can I put my AS 2.5 leveling kit on top of these?Also I've looked into the fabtech steering stabilizers, would these be needed or worth doing? Thanks

 

Sounds like you know what your doing! Stabilizers I hear are great, I just stacked my spacers ha ha so you should be good when it comes to adding the leveling kit. Ball joints and UCA are all that I know that would need work.

 

Thanks for the reply, anyone else with any thoughts on this before I place my order from rockauto.com.

 

i got the steering stabilizers myself and they rock.... completely got rid of my shimmy and def look BADA$$

 

You are on the right track. I think that the Fabtech steering stabilizers would be a good idea also.

 

Thanks guys, I've found the Fabtech FTS8009 steering stabilizer for $155 is that a decent deal? Will I be able to use the bracket that comes with these or are they made to mount on a fabtech lift? Thanks again for the help.

 

Sounds like a good price I believe I got mine for 171 shipped

 

Are steering stabilizers really necessary with rack and pinion set up? do they make a noticeable difference?

 

I believe they work on any 6" lift

From what I know, it takes all the shimmy out of your steering wheel from running the 35s+
