I don't want to go too big, perhaps a 4" lift

I know this might sound like a silly question, but is it a 2wd or a 4wd? If its 2wd, your basically limited to fabtech, but theres are great anyways.

I would go with the Fabtech. They are the originals when it comes to 2wd lifts, I am pretty sure they were the first ones doing 2wd's. And pro comp copied them after that. Anyways, go with fabtech, and be careful of what wheel offset you get if you are going with new wheels and tires. On the 99-03 body style, the offset is critical in wether or not your wheels will be rubbing the fenders. All of that is just IMO. Hope it helps.

i just fineshed helping my buddy put on a ford 2wd 7 inch lift.

I admit, the kit looks nice, but,,, the goofy bastards sent to of the same a-arms. they even labled and painted them different! we would never have known exept the alignment shop couldnt even get close on the alignment! They did even know what was causing the misalignment! So it wasnt just a random thing, somthing got screwed up at the factory. he ended up getting so upset, he returned everything but the spindles.
When or if you get fabtech, look over everything very very well. Id get a tape measure and even measure everything to make sure everything it is right. just a word of advise from experience.
