Default Lifts for 2001 f150 2wd

I am in the process of buying a lift for my 01 f150 2wd. The only ones I can find are like fabtech and they are like 1000 dollars. I was wondering if anyone new any other lifts that are cheaper and if you had pictures that would help. Thanks.

How tall do you want to go? If you want a 5" or 6". It'll cost you a grand. That's the price of it. If you only want 3" or so, look up spindles and rear blocks.

Can you tell me a company that sells 6 in lift for my truck. I've looked at fabtech and they only have 7.5in lift. And right country only has a 3in lift

RCD and ProComp make a 6 inch, but the most popular here is the 7.5" Fabtech lift

get the rough country 3in and then 2in coil spacers. you lift amount would be 5in in the front and 2in in the back. so u can upgrade the rear block to a 4in. cause i bet the front is sagging.

coil spacers are under $100

You will not find a 6 inch suspension lift for less then $1000. That's what they cost and even that's cutting it. If you want to do it 'right', that's the only way it can be done. Don't quote me because I know nothing about lifted 2 wheel drives but from what I understand, a 7.5 would roughly be the same as a 6 inch lift on a 4x4 because a 2 wheel drive sits an inch or so lower? Maybe someone can clarify.

Also, what are you looking to run for tire size? You can get away with a levelling kit if you just want 33's, I'm not sure what it would take for a 2 wheel drive to take 35's but my 4x4 does with 2.5 inches.

I'd go with the 7.5'' fabtech. I had the 3.5'' rcx (rough country) spindles with a daystar coil spacer on another truck. Although the spindles were really great, I always wanted to go higher. I'd just pay the extra money and get the 7.5'' fabtech lift. Fabtech makes a really good quality lift kit and you wont be dissapointed with the height or kit. Not mention there might be some holiday sales going on for Christmas time.

Your 4x4 will do it with no lift bro.

i bought the fabtech 3.5 spindle lift with dayster 2in coils. the fabtech alone costed $900 plus shipping. 8 months later. i wished i gone with 7.5 for around $1500. im going to be adding a 3in body lift on now that i have free time from school. a spindle lift also will kick out the front track width 1.5in on each side.
