Well that's a subjective question, but to me the ride compared to what it was from the factory is night & day difference better.

This 4inch system looks awesome. It is exactly what I am going to do with mine. I have the bds 6inch with spacers. Going to order these dirt logics (that i didn’t know they made without resovior until now). I just hope they sell them seperately. The stance on the 4inch is so much better then my 6 inch. My truck rides so smooth even with spacers I can’t imagine it being any better but I believe you when you say it is a night and day difference. It will be nice to actually be able to fit in a parking garage or a car wash drive through lol. This tread helps me a ton because I have been going back and forth in my head about what rear block to order for like 2 weeks no.

Great Stuff on this forum. I’m glad I joined!

Ps, Are are you staying with 3inch rear block or do you think you will go back to 2.25?

Sorry if these have been answered already....

What did this cost you out the door? How is the ride? Is it better than stock? Seems that the bigger wheels/lift would make it a little more bouncy. I went with the same truck because of the ride, dont want to lose that. What about cab noise from the tires?

For the lift, coilovers, alignment, drive shaft spacer and labor it was about $4,100. I provided wheels, tires, longer endlinks for my existing Helwig sway bar so the installation of those was included in the labor. I'd have to dig around for receipts on the tires/wheels to see what that cost because I can't remember.

The factory ride was way more bouncy because of the terrible factory shocks and the ride now is 100% better. I'm sure the BFG KO2's are louder by nature of the tread but it's never been something that I even noticed. I can honestly tell you that I don't regret it at all and would do it all over in a second.

@Livnitup love the truck! This thread right her confirms my decision to go with fabtech. I'm wanting a little more wheel/tire poke than what a +1 offset will give. I'm leaning towards 20x10 -12 which should give me another half inch outside the fender. Would you anticipate any trimming of front or rear crash bars?

Thanks for your help ahead of time.

I would think you probably would need some trimming with that offset but can't say for sure. I think on Fabtech's site they have that information in the installation pdf for the lift you're buying. I remember having that conversation with the shop I went to before I bought my wheels and even with my offset he said it was going to be 50/50 whether they had to trim with the 35" tires but I just made it without having to have any trimming.

Thanks for the info. Apparently fuel discontinued the -12 maverick wheel because of the new ram and chevy hub designs. Now my options are +1 or -18. Big difference IMO. Are you able to provide a pic from behind the truck to show the overall stance and how the tires stick out on both sides?

Thanks ahead of time.
