a suspension lift is a suspension lift, it shouldn't have anything to do with your tranny
go ahead and get it

I would stay away from pro comp, they ride like poo. I bought the 6.5" lift for my SD and haven't liked it since day one but I'm too cheap to go buy new springs.

If all you want to do is get your truck in the air and don't care about the ride, go with pro comp, otherwise, buy beware....

To be honest, I really don't know for the F150's. I just know to stay away from pro comp if you don't want to end up in traction at the chiropractor. ha ha.

I'd check around the F150 forum and see what guys are rollin' on in there.

Well I kinda like the skyjacker and the Fabtech. The problem is I use the term saving up losely. I'm 16 and having a hard enough time paying for gas as it is.
