Well my first Post to the forum, I'm looking at buying a 8" FTS lift for my '14 1500 Eco Diesel. I have seen many mixed reviews on the lift. Anybody running this lift have any issues? Pros' Cons'? I plan to run a 3" PA body lift with 38x15.50R20 Mud Grapplers and 20x12 -44 wheels. If you are running this combo please give advice. Thanks

I was going to go with that lift but decided to go with the 7" Maxtrac ... I believe that you have to provide your own shocks ...it's just the lift kit without shocks ...

I think there were a couple of threads about FTS. The consensus seemed like it was just a stretched 6" lift kit.

The rear control arm drop brackets look like procomp and they just removed the name tag, holes are still there for them

I'm curious if this is a legit 8" or if a leveled 6" is the same thing.

The FTS 8” kit uses 6” lift drop brackets, and it’s an 8” kit. The CV angles are beyond maxed because the drop brackets are not low enough.
Steer clear of any stretched lift kit.

It's a stretched 8" lift from what users have posted so far.

Basically a 6" lift cranking the front end an additional 2" most likely on the coilovers to get 8" total lift. It's a mall crawler lift. If you wand to take it off road take the additional 2" out of the front to make it usable again.
