Just about ready to buy the Fabtech “Ball Joint Upper Control Arm Lift Kit with Stealth Shocks”. Anyone have any pics of their truck running this? Trying to get ideas for tires.

That kit is just a spacer kit. There are better options available. Fabtech 3” coilovers are the bee knees because of the ride quality you can achieve with them. Just like the 4th gen trucks 3” is a lot to squeeze out of our ifs front ends.
For the money I would highly recommend doing the zone 4” lift. If you don’t have the budget for the zone, ready lift sst kit would be your 2nd best option. The down side to ready lift is they are often installed wrong because finding places that takes pride in their work is few and far between

Hahaha honestly I’ve been going back and forth on what to do. I keep changing my mind on what to buy. I think I’m starting to annoy Nick@GotExhaust with all my questions.
Originally just thought about getting a level. I’ve had spacer levels on my past two trucks and didn’t have any issues, but I really don’t want to go that route with my 22 Laramie. I thought about spending the money to do it right. Turns out the fox 2.0 coil overs are out of stock for now.
Then I started thinking about going a bit higher. Can’t go too high because I would like to keep parking in my garage. Figured after bigger tires, I can go max another 4 inches and SQUEAK into the garage lol. Readylift sst and Fabtech 3” were what I thought about. Originally thought about rough county but everyone on here trashes them so I figured I’d steer clear. The Fabtech 3 inche with remote reservoir is almost 3k. I thought that was a bit steep considering I’m still going to have to buy tires and instal. The Fabtech 3” without remote reservoir is out of stock.
Sooooo all that to say I still don’t know what the heck to do.

Keep in mind you get what you pay for. Good call steering clear of the marketing company posing as a suspension company. Ready lift does the spacer kits the best. Nick is the man.

If you do the belltech struts and the icon rear coils it’s a decent bang for the buck kit.

Don’t feel to bad. Nick has to deal with it all the time. Hell. I’ve been looking for over a year and quickshifter has had to deal with me too. Was leaning towards bilstein 6112 to replace my bilstein 5100 soon but had issues with my rear 5160 that nick took care of and I will be proceeding with fox 2.0 rear and fox 2.5 fronts in the future. bilstein is still having supply issues so that was my deciding factor.
