03f150

hey. i own an 03 f150 4x4 and want to get a lift for it, not huge, but a little bit to help with offroad capability. i want to run 35's but want the smallest lift to accomodate this without cutting to make the tires fit.i dont want rub or anything but i dont want to jack my truck up to the 9's because it is my daily driver. any suggestions?

To fit them without having any rubbing issues you would have to go with a 6". 4" might work though. The link above will take you to our website for your truck.

I have an 06 screw 4x4 and i was wondering if the 12" 04-08 Ford F150 4X4 Rize Industries Lift kit is a good kit? not trying to thread jack just asking a quick Q to top gun customz!

Right now fabtech and rize are fighting it out for the top of the food chain when it comes to lifts.Both are selling good(more than any other other lift company out their)But the rize has one thing up on fabtech is that they offer a 8inch lift and no i have seen no other company offer that. Now am i reading this right,you want 12inch lift kit for your truck? That would be kick *** and cand ef fit 35's but thats also allot of extra wear and tear on your truck than say a 6 or a 8 inch lift and with a 6 or a 8inch lift you can still clear 35's with no rubbing. My truck with my leveling kit i had on 35's on it and all i had to do was just shave the front valences and i didnt have any rubbing.i did just purchase a 6inch fabtech lift that i will be putting on.well let us know what you get as i'm sure your truck will look bad ***

I was thinking about the tuff country 6 inch kit w/ 35's but just wanted to know ohter options.. I don't want the tires to stick out like i put a 3 inch spacer behind the tires.. I just want a simple sleek lifted look! I will be purchasing this kit SOON as well as a whipple supercharger.. mmm

I could be mistake, but a friend of mine who works in a performance shop was telling me that Fabtech filed for bankruptcy and was going out of business. I think BDS makes some good suspension parts. That is what I am putting on my truck once I can afford some good tires.

Yes u did gear of that also actually but called the company 2 days ago and asked and they did say yes,However thoe all sales are still under warenty they said that the bankruptcy will not affect iteams baught from anybody.So i did some furterh research into it and found out it was sold 4months ago to a qroup of investors that basically didnt now squat and ran the company into the ground.Hoever thoe fabtechs are still selling and still on top of the game and right up their with rize in quality and workmanship.also all warenties wil stil be upgheld for their standars 2years.

Hery brother do not go with rough country.Have heard so many bad things.Do a search thread and se for youself.I will tel ya right now,do not go cheap ona lift cause you wil pay for it in the end.I mean commom their 6inch is going to about 1500,thats cheep.if you dont want to with fabteck or rise,go with trail master,bds,rancho is good,fatbobs.but whatever you do dont go cheap like i did in the first place on my 97(trust me i payed for it in the end brother)just do some research.So i see your sf,which group ya with?I wanted to go sf after my last tour but got injured in iraq so i was out.But hey i went Rangers(sof) tell ya what tell me how big you want to go and i wil do some research for a fellow army guy(trust me i have time hear at work,lol) also tell my your price range brother

You can fit 35s with a little triming needed on just a leveling kit.

-Rnger3rd- I'm not in group, I am going to selection after deployment and hopefully then get the schools and experience I need to hit the TOP(SFOD-D), I know you know what that means! Thats what I have been training for.. for the last 2.5 years.

I have done research, but never really asked around.. thanks for all the advice.. I do have a question though.. would I be able to hual a 26' trailer with a 3,000LB vehicle inside w/ a spare race engine, parts, tools, and more? Would I need to upgrade or buy an F-250 for that?

and does the Rize 12" lift really put you up their? and what size tires would you be able to run with that lift?
