Question any luck with fabtech?

hey all, anyone ever try Fabtech lift kits for the super duties? i have a 99 f-250 4x4 and their price seems cheaper than all the other brands and they even include shocks. sounds fishy.... im lookin at the 4 inch lift kit for my truck. im wondering if im gonna have some hidden challenge if i buy the kit, like lengthing the driveshaft or something like that. i think i would have to possibly add length to the brake lines, not sure though. any other hidden things i might have to look into installing something like this? thanks --ryan

Look at what the kit includes, if its a shackle lift vs spring lift its going to be cheaper, at 4in you wont have to worry about changing anything but shocks. Everyones got an oppinion on lift kits , just research the brands and fit it to your budget

I am running FABTECH shocks, leveling kit and a steering dampner. If I had to do it again, I would look for another brand. Shock bodies rust very easily and there customer service sucks!
