I was just curious, it doesn't really matter, all the Fabtech lifts I've run across have been solid. If you don't have already have one, you'll need a really big pitman arm puller. I think I finally found one big enough at the tool loan counter in Pep Boys. Trying to get the stock pitman arm off any other way will more than likely result in a broken steering box shaft. Also a high lb/ft torque wrench. The trac-bar bolts have to be torqued to around 370lb/ft if I remember correctly. Have fun. Post back with how it went, any advice on the install, and some pics.

While I never like "autos" myself...I found a really good brushless that had a great reputation for keeping their stuff clean and not scratching...plus they had a great six month unlimitted (inside & out) plan... My old truck with a 4" went through almost everyday. Got my new ride went to 6 and forget it... it just misses...since then I've checked most carwashes I see, even ones I would not use and they almost all have the same height limits.

the only real prob i have, is my wife cannot get the baby carrier in, or out of the truck herself, just about an inch away....
