06 Screw
I just bought an '06 F150 Super Crew, 2WD.
After researching a good bit, I just bought a 6" Fabtech suspension lift, 295X12.5R70 Nitto Terra Grapplers, and 17X9 American Racing "Craters".
Do ya'll think this combo is going to look good? I'm kinda nervous...
I had a 3" body lift and BFG AT/KOs on the '02 Sierra I just traded in, but I'm fairly new to all of this.
Am I going to need to invest in anything else to make this setup work?
Help me out fellas...

Thanks for the input Tylus. I appreciate that.
Well...I don't really have a good reason why I'm lifting a 4X2. I bought a 4X2 and happen to like the look of a lifted truck...so I'm going with it. Probably not the best idea, I assume.
How do you think it will look/handle/etc? I'm new to this, and kinda nervous that it will look bad or not work out mechanically.

will look great and only a gearhead will know it's not a 4x4...thats if they really look at the undercarriage anyways.
mechanically, your lift kit should be very sound and give you little if any problems. just slow it down on the corners

As far as I know, the kit doesn't come with an exposed skid plate...although I may invest in a nice one.
I'm pretty pumped...all the parts are in and I put it in the shop Wednesday. I'll be taking the "before" pictures today or tomorrow, and the "after" pictures the day I get my truck back. I'll post them all on here.
I just hope it has the look/feel that I want.
Thanks for the input. Please feel free to comment on the pictures when I post them. I love suggestions, etc.

I keep hearing/reading stuff about Fabtech's 6" lift leaving the rear end lower than the front end. Please tell me Fabtech has improved this...or will I need a leveling kit?
Rich, you had mentioned a "prerunner" look...did you mean that the back will be lower than the front.
Help me out...I don't wanna dish out 4 grand for the lift, wheels, and tires and it look like garbage...I want it level.

Well having no direct knowledge of that exact lift, there is no answer that I can give you.... with any certainty. Maybe you should wander down to the 'suspension' forum here on FTE, and see if they have any ideas how the Fabtech lifts typically work.
