Cool 97-03 F150 Regular Cab Fabtech?

Hey guys, I apologize if this has already been discussed. I was wondering if the 97-03 Fabtech lift will fit regular cab f150s. Has anyone here successfully installed one or seen one installed? Im not too sure why it wouldnt work... Any help or information would be appreciated!

It'll work. Your driveshaft could possibly need a spacer if it's a single cab shortbed though since it has the shortest one of all.

It's extra money for a warranty that chances are you'll never need. If you manage to break something on your suspension chances are your gonna have a lot bigger problems to worry about. But it's your call on that ha

The msrp for the fabtech is actually higher than the bds..... however you can find the fabtech kit for about 1700. But ive also heard that the fabtech shocks are garbage, so then your looking at another 200-300 for bilsteins. With the bds for 240 extra you can get fox series 2.0 shocks.

Its not like i will be installing them any time soon anyways since im half way around the world sitting in a massive sand box lol

I found a steal on here for a Fabtech 6" with 4.56's, complete front diff, and Pro-comp Mx6 adjustable. I may be selling them. As I may be going SAS.
