Default Guys with Fabtech & Superlift Lifts!!!

I just was online with a friend with a 4x4 and off-road shop whose been lifting trucks for 20+ years. He told me he just got it from his distributor that they have stopped producing parts for their kits.

LKI Enterprises, parent company of both Fabtech and Superlift filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection back in April and now it appears they may very well not come out of it.

I would advise anyone the a lift by those companies to try to get ahold of some of the common components that may wear out on you such as tie rods or at least the ends and hold onto them...

Don't know, but I know the tie rods on my Rancho kit are a lot bigger and beefier than stock, so stock ends ain't gonna fit.
It's up to you, I'm only giving a heads up. Up to you if you want to spend money on spare parts or not.
