Fabtech 3.5" Hanger System

I got a Fabtech 3.5" Hanger System with 1.5" Fabtech blocks for my 02 7.3, 4x4 cc, sb for xmas.

Has anyone have any experience with this kit? I am not going to be doing any heavy off roading, just want to inprove the stance a little. I am would also like to get some 285s---315s and mount them on my stock rims. So if anyone has any suggestions which size tire, please feel free to comment.

Thanks!

315s should fit nicely without rubbing.

Hey if you want a Donahoe 4.5" hanger kit i know someone with one for sale Seriously i think 315's would fit nicely on a 3" kit, no blocks in the front though.

Thanks for the heads up. However, my wife got a steal on this kit and think I will stick with it unless there is a bunch of negative feedback about the Fabtech kit.

Thanks!

The only holdback i would see would be the possibility of a shotty weld job or weak bracketry. It's not like it will change your ride either. Fabtech has some pretty beefy, innovative stuff so you will be fine. For the shocks if you have a chance, get Bilstein 5100s

I wouldn't recommend anything else. Ive tried lots of stuff so far and DP tuner is probably twice as good as all of them combined. I wouldn't even try to sell you my old chip just to keep you from getting a DP Tuner.
