He's right. It looks barely strong enough to withstand a few potholes. One thing about their reputation is that they specialize in lowering and airbagging vehicles. So their main concern isn't going to be designing a product to withstand the crucially weak points caused by larger heavier tires. I'm not trying to say they won't work, but IMO I wouldn't trust them. I would only trust a brand whos name has earned the reputation they have.

 

and from what i can tell by that pic is that the ends slide in or out and you just tighten that little bolt....scary

 

I didn't even notice that. That is EXTREMELY scary lol.

 

WOW !!! you guyz are correct...well there goes that idea...it looks almost go-cartish if thats a word. Good lookin out guys, well im still shopping.

 

Hey Real, check out this website. Their stuff is cheaper, but basically the same as Fabtech, excluding the upper arms.

That lift on the truck on that page is 5".

 

ok E.I.N thats gr8 stuff...thank you sir. the prices r ok as well. thank u sir

 

Ok out of all of the 11 pages i saw people bashing a lifted 2wd... i have a 2000 dodge ram with 6.5 suspension 3 inch spacer and 3 inch bod that clears 38x15.50x16 super swamper TRXUS. Ok so what if its 2wd and its pointless tell that to the idiots that spend an extra 3 grand on 4wd and lift it so high that they cant even put a front driveshaft in due to the angle... so they pretty much have a dead weight in the front end added to the motor... sorry but that seems more pointless to me then to someone that lifted a 2wd ... and you get better MPG and u wasteds a perfectly good axle and gave the dealership an extra 3000 for something you took out ... shows we r the smart ones lol

 

Wow I drive a 2wd and you are the reason why there is pages of bashing lifted 2wds what do you do with your truck go to mall and drive around seems like a waste of a truck.

 

Red, thats a question that you can even ask some 4X4's.... Like I said, half the people who lift their vehicles, are doing it for looks, not functionality.

 

i personally think if you lift it higher than enough to tuck 35's in the fenders on either 2wd or 4wd its a waste the truck becomes a useless hauler and just sucks gas trying to turn big tires, unless your truck is a purpose built off roader a daily driver doesnt need anything more than 35's IMO
