2wd suspension kit
 
I found this lift kit, its a suspension kit. Wondering if anyone has some pros and cons for this particular brand, and pros and cons of this type of lift vs a body lift.

My truck is a 99 scab btw. 2wd. Im thinking with this kit in combination with a 3 inch body for a total of 6 overall. that would be a nice look. Comments please.

boo on the blocks.

and i will personally come over and cut your body mounts in half with a sawzall if you ruin a nice truck with a body lift.


but i just put a rough country leveling kit on my truck, not bad overall. i know if you go bigger than a leveling kit though, its all just for looks. and you loose some driveability more so than you would with another brand.

no body lift huh?
dang the guys over at f150onlineforums seem to be hot for body lifts.

so suggestions?

ok guys i cant figure out what i want to do
Like most of you I want the cheapest, easiest and safest stuff I can find.

So I can not figure out, should I
Get a suspension lift from fatbobs, or should I get leveling springs or should i just get leveling blocks for the front or should i get a body kit.
I know I want it atleast as high as a 4x4, or maybe a bit higher.

no body lift. that will just look plain stupid and ruin your truck over time.

blocks are alright, if you drive your truck like a 3 cyl. geo metro.

leveling springs and a mild tire would look good on your truck IMO. or that lift kit would look good from fat bobs, just dont romp on your truck that much.

All I can say is NOOOOOOOOO! haha spend the extra cash and do it right with the Fabtech Spindle kit. and PA for the body lift. or just foot the whole bill and get the fabtech 7" if they still make it.

whats wrong with that kit?

just durability and design, the fabtech spindle kit puts the rough country to shame, but if your street driving I suppose its fine

tonkatruck66 09-10-2008 08:59 PM

lol, having rough country on my truck, ill be the first to admit that a lot of stuff puts it to shame, but its a cheap lift and does what i want it to do since i dont do all kinds of crazy rock crawling or deep mud.

plus his truck is 2wd, any wheeling in that is just dumb.
