My buddy had one on his old white 2001 supercrew and was never too satisfied with it, said it always made weird noises and never rode very well

02KingRanch's truck with a 6" FabTech. IMO the best lift you can buy for these trucks

I'd disagree, I think the BDS with the add a leaf and lifetime warranty is just the best overall lift

My friend had it with a chevy and it seemed to ride good but I just like their warranty and how they offer an add a leaf instead of a huge block, and they even sell lift spring packs for a little extra so you don't need a block

I'm deciding between rancho 4" lift, rcx 5", fabtech 6" mostly.. I'd normally go for a BDS lift but I'll save the extra cash for other mods.. Anybody have a fabtech with stock wheels? I'm pretty sure you can use stocks with that lift but I'm unsure..

DHG has a 6" Fabtech on stock FX4 wheels now. Only difference is 37's and 3" body lift

Yeah I'd end up changing my rins but if I can save an extra 1,000$ at the time being I'd be good with the stocks
