i have a 02 f250 7.3 that i want to lift, but everywhere i look i only see lift kits for 4wd trucks. is there a difference or does it matter? Christmas is right around the corner and i would like to get this done

 

Yes....you need a lift for your truck....someone should make one somewhere...

 

thank you!

 

Fab tech makes a 4" & 6" lift for 2wd superdutys.
If it wasn't for my camper I would do the 6" myself.

I had to pause for breakfast.....so I am a bit late with the fabtech info but it is listed on their site as mentioned.

 

i was kinda wanting to do a 8 in lift instead of a 6. could i just get bigger tires like maybe 38's or 40's?

 

Holy crap I just looked up the 6 inch kit for my truck, it was $5500! holy smokes!!!!

 

i was looking that the same thing! but then i looked at the BASIC 6 inch lift for my truck..$1600

 

Haha no kidding...the 5500 dollar one gave me front coils.

I was thinking that 5500 sounded like a lot haha

Does anyone have that lift?

I would love to do a lift, but cant justify spending all that money on tires and probably killing my mpg, although it looks sick!

 

Keep looking around. The premium Fab Tech 6" kit for my truck is around $1800 on a few different websites, but for some off reason Xtreme off road wants $3200 for the same kit???? Maybe I missed something like them giving you a mail order bride with your order, but that is crazy...

im looking at probably getting the 6'' performance kit for my truck. Do you think i could get the 22 kmc rockstars and wrap the in 38-40''s?

 

i'm think'n this route, if/when i ever get a lift...99-06 2010 conversion...pics are middle of page..(blue truck).

You may be able to squeeze 38's under a 6 inc lift, doubt you could get 40's though. I ran 37x13.50x18's and I think they looked perfect, filled the wheel well nicely, gave it a nice fat/aggressive stance and didn't rub much (unless I really pounded on it). Check out Doetsch Tech too, Rick Doetsch used to work for Rough Country Suspension before they sold, started Doetsch Tech in the mid 90's and has developed some great products. I have never been a real big fan of Fabtech, I think you pay too much for that blue powder coating and their shock quality is less than stellar.

You're not going to get 38's on a 2wd with a 6" lift. It will come out looking like a 4wd with a leveling kit on it, not some extreme lift.

Go up to the Excursion section. There's a moderator there named Toreador Diesel. He's got a 6" lift on his 2wd excursion. He can give you plenty of information.

 

Thanks Chris!

I've been through this, made expensive mistakes, and learned what works and what doesn't.

I ended up with the Procomp kit as Fabtech had two different 6 inch lift kits that made things confusing.

Things to consider:

-The largest tires you can run with a 2wd lift kit, is 35 inch tires. The 35s rub slightly, but 37s are overkill.

-If you have a diesel truck, your only option is 6 inches. No more, no less

-You will need to regear to recover power and fuel economy due to the bigger tires. 4.10 are the correct ratio to get you back to the equivalent of 3.73. Anything else and you will have made an expensive mistake.

-If you have a diesel, there is no need for a truspeed module. You can adjust the speedo with an AE. F350-6 did mine Fall 2010 and it's been dead on ever since.

-You will need a caster/camber alignment kit. You will need to go to an alighment specialty shop in order for the truck to be aligned properly with the correct kit. If not, you'll chew through tires in no time.

-You can run 35s on the factory mags, no need for aftermarket rims, the correct tire size is 315/75/16.

I have more on this, but this should be enough to get the gears turning in your head. Need to off to the Christmas play, be back later.
