about to start the lift!
 

hey yall, about to lift my truck with a fabtech suspension lift. its a 98 f150 4x4 4.6. was wondering if there is anything i should look out for or if theres any tips to make it a little easier. truck already has a 3 inch body lift which was done by me and runnin on 33s for now until i get new wheels and tires. another question is once the lift is on, to change the ring and pinion on the front diff do i need to drop the whole thing or can i do it as is the way it sits? thanks ahead of time for all your help and opinions

Should be okay with just a 6" lift for your pinion angle, what size tires are you planning on going too?

Edit: I read your post wrong

Yes drop the front differential out when you do the gears. And as for tips on the lift install of your t-bars are like mine, don't bother trying to get them out because mine wouldn't budge. I dropped the whole lower control with the bars attached, but had to take out the trans crossmember. That's was the only prob I ran into.

thanks for the tips guys, im not sure if im goin to run 35 or 37s yet had the lift for awhile and its just been sitting in the garage so i think im gonna tackle the project pretty soon

Drew if you need help, i'm in holiday. I remember selling a lift a long time ago to someone from spring hill..

Where the hell have you been man!? Haven't seen ya around these parts in a while.

thanks for the offer but we just did the lift on sunday, everything went pretty smooth just need to get and alignment and some bigger tires. and gears of course. and that was me you sold the lift too, i just now got around to putting it on lol

ill put a picture up later but just curious how to lift the back more? its bulldoggin and it doesnt look too bad but i want it sitting level
