Fabtech Motorsport FTS97159-7 3.5" Lift Spindle for the 1997-2003 2wd F150. Wow! Thats what the motoring public collectively said when the Blue Oval introduced the completely new F150 in 1997. Ford now has a new F150 for 2004 so its time to give your 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2000, 2002 and 2003 Ford F-150 a fresh new look and a badass attitude by adding a Fabtech Motorsports FTS97159-7 spindle lift! Fabtech's 2wd F150 lift spindles increase the vehicle ground clearance and increase vehicle height to clear larger tires! The FTS97159-7 can transform a boring daily driver into an eye catching on and off-road cruiser. These spindles are great for daily drivers because they retain a stock like ride while providing a full 3.5 inches of lift. The one-piece cast spindle design replaces the factory units for a quick and easy installation that requires no cutting or welding. These spindles are engineered to accept factory ball joints and feature a press in axle snub design for superior strength and longevity. This Fabtech system for 2WD F150s includes one pair of 3.5" lift spindles. A complete front to rear lift will require additional components.To complete this kit please select a block and u-bolt kit from below. Most F150 trucks running the 3.5" lift spindle will sit level with the addition of a 1.5" rear block kit. If you prefer having the rear higher than the front we strongly recommend the 3" rear block. For west coast customers that prefer the front higher than the rear a 1" block is recommended. New replacement shocks are not necessary but are recommended if you are increasing tire size and want to improve upon the factory ride quality. The stock Ford F150 shocks are not designed to properly control heavier off-road style tires and thats why a set of new shocks can really make a difference, both on and off-road. PerformanceLifts.com recommends the Fabtech shocks for customers on a budget and the Rancho 9000X shocks for customers that want the most bang for their buck. The Rancho 9000X is a 9-way adjustable shock that can be easily adjusted to provide a nice on and off-road ride and is great for trucks that tow or haul heavy loads. PerformanceLifts.com recommends the use of a 285/75R16 tire with 16x8 wheels. If running a 17" diameter wheel the recommended tire size is 285/70R17. Wheels must not have more than 4-5/8" of back space. To properly install these Fabtech F150 3.5" lift spindles requires the addition of the Fabtech FTS290 alignment cam and bolt kit. The FTS290 alignment cam and bolt kit is available separately below and is STRONGLY recommended to ensure your installation and alignment goes smoothly the first time.
