Default Ugh Oh

Drivers side hub blew out on the highway today. Tire is sitting so crooked it's ridiculous. Not even 10K miles on the fabtech lift, I wonder if this will be an ongoing problem? I'd say it was pretty god damn dangerous. Anyone else have any experience with this?

IDK much about the Fabtechs or 4wd so you might wanna check with hammer but what does the wheel bearing hub have to do with the fabtech? I know it is all apart of the front end components but if just the hub gave out, maybe it had nothing to do with the lift itself??

Either way, you can find Mopar hubs on ebay for 75-90 bux all day

First I've heard about a hub blowing out specifically with a Fabtech lift, BUT I personally know two people who have had CVs go ON THE STREET who have Fabtech lifts, plus AF_Hemi on here I believe has gone through two CVs and has that lift...

the 60's time is in 2WD, not 4WD ><

and when I looked at the lift, the angle of the CV's looked really good didn't seem like there was too much on em. The reason I'm asking about the fabtech lift is b/c it comes with all new arm assemblys, and was wondering if the offset of the hub bearings was too much weight to handle. Anyone know some really good aftermarket hubs I could replace with? I put Timken's in my old Dodge.
