Just curious to see who here has the fts 8" lift kit. Also looking for reviews of people who have the kit. Some pictures would be great as well. I couldn't find much on these kits so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey bro, I've never been in a truck on this kit but AllOutOffroad in Pearland built an F150 on this kit and it was cranked all the way up and they told me it rode like absolute ****. I was talking to them about my options to get more height out of my truck and we got onto that truck.

I would imagine adding anything to a kit that is designed to be a certain height would make it ride like a conistoga wagon. A 6in will ride like hell because of the all of the stuff added on to it.

DavidSchlot822

Yeah but this truck was an 8" kit, and all that was done was cranked coilovers. Nothing additional added on top of the kit.

and it still rode like crap? Damn, not worth it. Just get a 6in with some 37s.

DavidSchlot822

Yeah, it was nasty don't get me wrong. 8" cranked to 9, 35x13.50s and 22x14 Fuel 2-piece mavericks. They said it would just absolutely beat the **** out of you.

Damn it was only cranked an additional 1"?! Damn maybe rize it is then. I heard the rize is really closer to 9 and I'm thinking I would need 9-9.5".

Thanks David. Oh yeah and now you really have me looking at those damn American Forces! The polished look is really growing on me.

DavidSchlot822

Man me too, it grows on me daily. I just want to get my headlights done, get my badges on and all my LEDs get installed to see how it all comes together.

David the truck your talking about at AllOutOffroad*was the white one right? The one with the shocker yellow colored kit?

White-Out

Haven't been in a Ford with an FTS lift, but have been in a few GM's with their 7-9" kits and they ride great. What coilovers did the shop use? So much goes into how a truck rides once you start ditching the OEM struts for coilovers, especially once you start cranking them up and effectively changing spring rates.
