I'm considering putting in a 3" Fabtech spindle lift kit on my 02 2WD. I've heard they have a pretty good ride to them. Are they pretty durrable. My truck is just a daily driver, so I want it to last a long time, and be good offroad. I dont go offroading that much, and cant do a whole lot with just a LS 2WD, but I want it to be strong enough that nothings going to happen when I go out and do stuff.
Has any body put this on their truck. How was your experience?
I got a quote from 4Wheel Parts, the kit out the door with shocks, front and rear, add a leaf for the rear and alignment is 830.68. Not too bad, but then he told me I need a wheel with 3 3/4" offset; stock wheels wont work. What exactly does the offset mean? Does the wheel need to stick out from the truck 3 3/4" to fit. He told me stock wheels wont even go on. Pisses, me off, my brother just gave me his old alloy wheels off his old ranger, the optional alloys that Ford offered. Is there a way getting around buying new wheels? I really dont want to have to buy new wheels. Really cheap wheels and 31" BFG AT's out the door is going to cost $1845. I could do it, but I wouldnt be able to fill up my gas tank afterwards and be able to enjoy it. Go figure...
I appreciate any comments and suggestions.
Thanks
