Fabtech only makes a 6" lift for the 2004-2008 F150. I have a Fabtech 6" on my 2006. Do you have 6" spacers on top of your factory front struts or do you have aftermarket struts?

If you have the truck with you now you can just take a look. If you have aftermarket struts, you can put a 2" spacer on top of them for more lift. If you have a 6" spacer on top of your stock struts then you will have to buy taller struts to get any more lift than what you have now. So hope you have aftermarket struts already, or you will be spending some big money to get more lift. This picture is my truck with a 6" Fabtech lift. I got Fabtech's Dirt Logic struts

If you have a 6" spacer on top of your factory struts, then you won't be able to put on a leveling kit. You can't stack spacers, It doesn't turn out good.

That's what I meant by hope you have aftermarket struts. The only way to get higher than what you are is to buy new taller struts. Or you may be able to put a Rancho quick lift under your 6" spacer. I'm not sure about that though. Maybe somebody else knows

yeah dont stake spacers. You need coilovers to replace that big spacer you got in there already to be able to raise it up another 2inches.

you have coilovers, fabtech also has struts which are similar to what comes factory just longer to accommodate a 6" lift.

Well, you obviously don't have Fabtech's optional Dirt Logic coilovers. But that doesn't look like the standard white bodied Fabtech coilovers either. You see, when Fabtech first introduced their lift for the 2004-08 trucks, they came with a replacement white coilover shock. They later redesigned their kit and it came with a 6 inch spacer to be used with your OEM coilover shocks. The Dirt Logic coilover shocks have always been optional. Can you post a pic of the front of your lift?

My bad. I always just use the terms interchangeably. I know it's technically not correct
