Looking back now I probably should have, I might consider that in the future, also I'm about to attempt at making a custom emblem to put on the front soon

Got my rear spacers put on to even out my overall stance. Definitely like it a lot better.

Like wheel spacers? We have the same lift and mine seems dead on. I'm not gonna go look again though cause I don't need something else to bug me and make me spend more money haha.

Doesn't that lift advertise that the track width is the same as stock? If it gets wider up front then that's false advertisement.

Yep. The steering knuckles kick the front wheels out farther and require a 1" spacer where the cv joints bolt up to the differential to make up for the difference. My front wheels stuck out significantly farther than the rear.

I don't recall on the Fabtech lift. I'll have to go back and check.

Huh, mine definitely isn't off by any noticeable amount, if it is at all.

Almost all lifts for F150s advertise that track width stays the same, even 12" Bulletproofs.

There was definitely a difference with mine. The shop even told me that the steering knuckles would kick the front wheels out. The pic below is before the rear spacers. I'll snap a pic of the front differential spacers shortly.
