Hey. Newbie here. Looking for some lift kit details.
Complete Suspension System

Which of the 4 should I get? And with uncranked t-bars will a 2000 5.4L Ext Cab 4x4 fit 37s w/o rubbing?

You should be able to fit 37s comfortably with a 6-7in lift.

i would go with a fabtech lift.

and you should be able to fit 37's but you may have to crank your torsion bars.

Also if you plan on towing or offroading with your truck, dont get blocks, get the lift springs.

Yeah, offroading is the main purpose of the build. And no I won't be towing. We got a 05 F150 to do that.

Ok, then spend a little more and get the kit with new springs.

I dont beleive in using blocks in anything other than street-queens, unless they are small blocks(1-2in).

A few weeks ago I seen some guy with a new '08 SuperDuty with the 6.4, and he stacked 2 blocks together to get about 7-8in of lift

. Probably one of the worst combinations.. a powerful diesel with stacked blocks.
