Default Fabtech lift systems

I am considering a 6" Fabtech lift on my 2014 Supercrew, does anyone have any experience with them? This truck is my daily driver and don't really do any hard off roading, but I do want something that will last and has good street manners. Any pros or come to them on F150s?

I have the 6 in fabtech on my 13 super crew it rides 1million times better than my 09 did with a leveling kit. Im going to upgrade to fox coilovers eventually and bypasses for the rear but right now it rides like stock just taller.

I was going to have a leveling kit installed, but a local shop said they would install the 6" kit with alignment for around $1900, so I am just going to save the $350 and go that route. I am keeping my truck mild, most likely a set of 33"s or 35"s and I am looking a set of stock Platinum wheels.

Had a fab tech kit on my Silverado, and it was fine. I have a pro comp kit on my 150, and I like it just as well. There are more expensive kits to be had, and ppl will tell you that you need them, but if you aren't doing any hard off roading, and if the majority of its time will be on road, no sense in going crazy on a lift. As for tires, with a 6" lift, 33s will look too small, and you may want spacers on those platty wheels.

I have 295 65 20 stt pros on 20x9 wheels with 0ffset . My tires according to cooper are almost a 36 x 11.5ish height wise they look good but I want a little wider. 33s would look tiny. I'm wanting todo 37 or 35s on 22s for my summer wheels. I got under the truck a min ago while changing my oil and gave everything a shakedown it's been about 6 months 3k miles since it was lifted.
