Notice the rub marks on the inner side of the shocks! WTH!!! If they rub that bad at that location, that thing would be all over the place. The 3" coil spacers and the stacked blocks under what appears to be the original leaf springs are not items found in the "High Dollar" lift kits...
Now that I've picked on that guy and his description of his truck, I agree with the original comment that these trucks look great lifted.

I guess I don't get why people always have to go that extra crazy level? It's like that truck has a beautiful 5'5 Fabtech lift kit...I would have been completely satisfied right there. But then they throw on a 3" coil spacer on it. Then as if that's not enough, they install a 3" body lift. Then suddenly, the fab tech lift is lost in translation with the 6" of extra cheap lift. I just think it's stupid. Now that expensive lift kit is being wasted because he has all these weird rubbing issues because he went and put it up too high. Not to mention, I'm sure those are the stock axles and gearing on that truck. If I ever bought that truck, I'd take the coil spacers and body lift out, put the 35" tires meant for the lift on, and then enjoy the great usable looks.

No, and I never will. The failure rate of their kits is unbelievable.

I've seen a number of trucks of all makes sitting nose down in the desert with broken spindles, broken trailing arms, separated bearings, broken coils, sheered pitman arms you name it.

Fabtech makes absolute crap. Take a look at any race truck that wins races. You wont find anything made by Fabtech.

Wheel travel, not ride height, is where it's at.

Yeah, for you two wheelers

Really though, junk? I have always heard good things about them. I have no personal experience though.
