I couldn't find out much about this topic and I have a few questions because I've never even ridden in a lifted truck. I'm looking at trading my truck on a f150 with a 6 inch fab tech lift kit with 35 inch mud grapplers. Is this a good brand of lift kit and how will my handling be compared to stock? Does it take a lot longer to stop? Does the steering feel loose even when going down a straight road like the interstate? Does it feel like it would tip over on turns? Thanks in advance as I'm full of questions.

Did you have these questions when you drove it? What did it feel like?

No, unfortunately I have not driven it yet. It's 2 hours away from my house so that's why I'd like to get some opinions on it before I waste my time looking at it.

Suspension lifts are designed too keep the stock ride I have a 6in rough country lift on mine and it rides the same the only thing that changes it is the tires I have on it just really noisy and vibrates right when I start to take off but then stops it just cause of the big treads on the tire

Yes, yes and yes. Ive never owned a lifted truck, but Ive driven plenty and afterwards it makes me appreciate my stock suspension truck so much more.

I wanted mud tires also until I drove a friend of mines truck, sooooo glad I went with AT tires instead.

Lifted trucks sure look badass though.
