Clarification Needed !!!

i was just making sure the front box kit came with everything you need to lift the front of your vehicle like i understand

i have a early 99 f250 PS and want the front lift .. i am looking into the Fabtech 5.5" inch front box kit .. here is the link to it..

http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT22189.aspx

can anyone help clarify this for me please..the shipping weight is only stated as 31.2 lbs and that seems a little on the light side to me? help please?

thanks

nic

That lift kit right there will not work on a leafspring truck such as yours, unless its a conversion to a four-link coil-over system and also it says that the shocks are not included.

On second thought...you probly should go to Fabtechs website and check the 5.5" lift kits that fit your truck cause that just seems like a uncomplete kit.

looks like the front kit for a 2wd, TIB truck... not sure for what, though... do you have 2wd or 4wd? because thats definitely not for a 4wd S-duty, at least not that year...

well, I just double checked a different site for you, and they list the part number for the kit on 4WP.com as part a complete set... its the wrong pic on 4WP.com, though... it also matches the one listed on the Fabtech site...

(Other site with complete kit) http://www.performancecenter.com/pro...-Inch+Lift+Kit

(Fabtech Site) http://www.fabtechmotorsports.com/ap...rduty.html#ins

thanks for your guys help it had the 4wd option when i ordered .. everything seems like its right i didnt even get to thinking about second guessing it before i ordered until after i saw the shipping weight but there is a shipping sale right now so maybe it shows less to reflect the lesser cost??

on the link the the front box kits it says everything needed to complete the front lift of a truck minus shocks .. i thought i was getting eveything but the shocks included inthe Fabtech 5.5" kit .. i guess i might be returning it when it gets here next friday if thats the case..
