Default 01 2WD prerunner lift

ok so how does this sound?

I have my lift all picked out:
Fabtech 6.5 in the front
bilstein 5160's on all 4 corners
and a BDS shackle flip in the rear.


my only problem is i cant find a shackle flip anywhere.

Yeah, the shackle flips are hard to find.
Doesn't specify 4wd or 2wd but I guess it would work for both?
these are 4" shackle flips:

...or call your local BDS distributor and have them order it for you.

If you need zero rates here's a good place to get 'em:

edit: is your ride an ext cab? I'm only seeing Fabtech 6.5" lifts for ext cabs...just a note.

Doestch-Shocks is also a good company for 2wd lifts. Might be cheaper than Fabtech, and possibly better quality.
