New Lift Kit

I just finished up putting a 6" Fabtech coilover lift kit, and 35" mud tires and new rims on my truck. I finished it on friday. It makes the truck so much more fun to drive, i haven't taken any pictures yet but i will tomorrow, it raining here right now. I'd recomend Fabtech to anyone! Pictures to come soon

you are brave, and I commend you. I'm not brave enough to do that until the warranty is up and I've got $5k to spend on the lift and tires

can't wait to see some pictures

Took the words right out of my mouth...

Have you or are you going to do a gearing change?

just wait until you go out and play. These lifts are a lot of fun off road, I will have to say they smooth out rough trails, it is a good lift. It will get you through some nasty stuff, I still have not been stuck yet.

I've been wanting to put the same lift on my truck. Do you mind saying what you spent and where did you get it. Any modifications needed (cutting or welding)

I ordered my through www.4wheelparts.com very good customer service, very knowledgable sales people. For the lift kit, 4 Pro Comp Mud Country tires, 4 Pro Comp wheels, Shock Boots, 1" Pro Comp Add-A-Leaf, and shipping it came to $3,600 give or take a few bucks.

The best part about 4wheelparts.com is that if you place your order by phone you can haggle with them quite a bit. I got them to throw in one of the tires, the shock boots, and the add-a-leaf for free. I'd recommend them to anyone, just order by phone.

T-B_MN. Thanks man. I deal with them all the time. I've been happy 95% of the time. I like Fabtech stuff a lot. I bought a twin shock fabtech steering stabilizer from them. It sat in the basement 4 months or so till I got around to installing it. as it turns out, it can only be used when you have a fabtech lift kit. All I have now is a leveling spacers. I figured I hang on to it till I do the whole lift, but that my be a while. Let me know if want it. I'll let it go cheap.

I was going to order one when i got my kit, but when i was talking to the guy he said that there wasn't one available for my lift kit. Actually he said there was one but he said that the one they had didn't work very well and it was returned by the customers about 50% of the time. Hearing that made me kind of nervous so i didn't order it. I don't know if it is something to do with my kit or what. Have you heard anything about that? Out of curiousity how much?

I'm tryng to find the reciept. If paid 140 I'll sell if for 100. If I paid 110 about 75. I bought stabalizers for 2 trucks at the same time. That's why I can't remember How much. What might ruin it is shipping. Let me try to find a picture and price. I'm looking forward to see your pictures.
