But as soon as you take that fabtech lift offroad expect the whole suspension to buckle and break or cause premature component failure. Ive had a fabtech track-bar break on me from hitting a speedbump no bigger than an ant, Ive had a friend run through fabtech control arms over the couple 5 month's(Please dont attempt the long control arm setup fabtech offers). The zerks also fall out of the control arms all the time and on top of all this great news im telling you about ***tech. There customer service sucks! Now there are people who enjoy there fabtech and there are people who have there negatives so dont get mad if you like the lift kit and it is working just fine for you. Just saying, you better inspect that lift kit every couple months for wear and tear and dont be surprised to run through shocks either. Also there must be a reason for the front drive shaft being gone? Did he upgrade to bigger gears? Did he do the rear and the front at the same time? That would suck if you put a front drive shaft back on only to find the rear has 4.56 and the front has 3.55 also I noticed there is a body lift on there. How many inches is the body lift? Do they have the bed overloads installed? Is everything from the body lift installed? inspected the fan shroud? Just a few things to check. Tires look like they have 40-30% tread maybe more. Not being a d***, would hate to see you buy a lemon though. But it is a nice truck! Hope everything is fine with it and you get it!
Carfax is clear. And it did have overloads on the rear. I'll check the shroud next time I go for a test drive

hahaha, as if carfax is even reputable any more. It's only as good as what is reported to it. There's actually better car history products out there, they just don't advertise as much.

Exactly what I told the dealer when he gave it to me.
