Unless you have 2 minutes of spare time.

I'm kinda bored right now. But when I get my truck I'm going, 6" Fabtech lift, 3" body lift, and some 38x14.5x17 Mud-Terrain T/A KM2's
It'll be a monster(heightwise and cashwise)




*Ford F150 97-03

um for one you plan on being 2wd with larger tires.. ok wonderful useless but ok..

another if your getting 98+ there is no 6" kit so where you plan on getting this there is a 5.5 kit but i believe its made for coil spring vehicles if i remember right not t-bar, so coil spring doesnt sit as high from the get go.....

Hate to disagree but, 97-03 4wd has a 6" kit, 97-03 2wd has a 7.5" kit IIRC.

I think that F-150 looks like crap. I hate that style of Crew Cabs on the F-150.

And yes i was looking at RANGER Fabtek lifts. I didnt go through as much trouble as too look up the kit #, but assumed that it was a Fabtek lift for a RANGER.

If you want to post about building an F-150, post in the off-topic or the Build Logs. Last time I checked this was a RANGER forum.

just because it's a RANGER forum doesn't mean it's restricted to RANGERS. all the other ford forums I've been to have sections for other ford vehicles. and the section this was posted in isn't called "RANGER Wheels and Tires" and the description doesn't say it's restricted to ranger discussion. just stop being ignorant because you didn't read the fine print.

Thanks for bathing me in your ignorant bliss. As I said before, just because it IS CALLED A RANGER forum... does not mean it has to be/nor is limited to ranger discussion. Previously stated, the F150 sites I have been to have posted Ranger specs and ideas before. I never stated in my first post I wanted info, I merely put my idea out to the public.
