2006 4x2 Screw w/ 6" Fabtech + 35's on 20's

I finally did it! I've got a 6" Fabtech kit with 35" Nitto TGs on 20" Eagle 079's on my 2006 4x2 Screw. It looks freakin great... and I'm totally happy with how it handles. I'll post pics tomorrow.

We did a bit of trimming and still have a little bit of rubbing. I'm loving the look, but I think another couple of inches would be perfect and eliminate the rubbing. I'm seriously considering a 3" body lift and some Nfab nerf bars.

Anyone have any advice, thoughts or pics of a setup similar to mine with a 3" body lift on top of the 6" suspension? What is the best body lift kit out there?

Before anyone jumps in there to flame me for lifting up a 2 wheel drive truck... you'll understand after I post pics. I own a vehicle wrap business. This truck is an advertising expense. It's sole purpose is to turn heads. So, the bigger the better!

Body lift would work well for your truck. 6" is a little stuffed for 35s on a 2wd imo.

Went downtown with the family today. It was a b^%$# trying to maneuver in the tight parking lots. Gotta do something about the rubbing... quick.

What body lift do you guys recommend? Performance Accessories is the only one I'm familiar with. Will it eliminate the rubbing?

Also, I know I should save this for another thread, but my truck has kinda lost the pep in its step. I don't really know anything about it, but what do I need to do to get the most out of my 5.4L engine? Programmer?

By the way, my old wheels and tires are for sale. They are less than a year old BFG AT 285/70/17 on Eagle Series 137 17" Wheels. I have an Autospring 2" leveler if anyone has a 4x2 they want to fit my wheels and tires on. Hit me up at info@gfxwraps.com. Thanks!

Here is an Excursion owned by the guys that did my lift. We did the wrap on this one too. They have another pickup truck that matches this one... but I can't post pics here. It's a Ch&%y. Check out pics on our website www.gfxwraps.com!

That looks good man. What size rims and tires on the excursion? I've been thinking about m16s for my next set.

How much does it cost for a complete wrap over the body? How long do they last usually?

Truck looks good but will look so much better with the body lift and nfabs on it.

Depends on the size of the vehicle and what you want in it. For a crew cab completely covered roof and all, you'd be looking at about $3200 or so. The Excursion was about $3800 including the roof.
