Is this a workable setup?

Okay i figured out my setup I'm gonna get, i have an 03 super crew lariat 2wd and I'm gonna get the 7.5" Fabtech lift and i already a have a 1.5" daystar spacer on and i wanna leave that on and put 1.75" shackles to bring the back up.

will this setup work without having to get different shocks? also, will it squat in the back because i hate when a truck squats in the back?

7.5" Fabtech suspension + 1.5" Daystar coilspring spacer + 1.75" rear shackle?

also, i wanna run 20x10 Fuel hostages with 4.5 backspacing on nitto mud grapplers
will those work or will i have to use 20x9 with 4.5??



help me out please, thanks guys!!!

Depends most shackles give about 1.5" of lift, is that what the difference is now?

Depends, what shocks do you have now? Do you know what height they're made for? Chances are you'll be fine but there's always the rare occasion when the shock comes up short.

Sure either one will work, but you left out a major part the tire size and type of tire. What tire size do you plan on running?

I'd be running the shocks that comes with the fabtech kit and they would be 35x12.50-20 mud grapplers, and right now with just the daystar spacer my truck sits perfectly level

9" of lift and 35s? AT least get 37s if not 38s

Okay well if your truck sits perfectly level now with the spacer up front, then when you raise the back with the shackle it'll be higher back there.

Shocks should be okay and you shouldn't have problems with the tires except maybe some rubbing on the frame at full lock when turning.

To Mossy^, 9" isn't big enough for 37's or 38's since he's 4x2, he'd need to add a body lift to clear those without some major rubbing issues.

Also to stack the spacer with the 7.5 kit you'll need to most likely get a set of aftermarket control arms such as the doestch, springtech, or canuck motorsports ones.

I'd go with the 20x9's. The Fabtech lift is gonna increase your front track width.
