Fabtech, I can’t say I would recommend them at all!! 8 Inch lift and U-bolts are not long enough. 18"s is as long as they say they make that's 5/8th of an inch too short to even start the threads and 2" too short to be of any use what-so-ever!! I didn't find this out until after I took everything apart. 4 Wheel Parts will be getting a Call Bright and Early!!

Looks like no Brake lines. I talked to Kris @ 4 Wheel parts Wholesalers in Jacksonville a week about this. I told him I wanted a no Problems, out of the box, one time Kit. I mentioned the Brake lines specifically.

The Pro-Comp is the one I was looking at. He said he couldn't get it anytime soon and he recommended the Fabtech. My truck has been needing tires for some time, I’ve Been looking at lift kits for some time. Almost all of them raise the Front 8"s and the rear 5" and that makes them look like they squat. That's NOT acceptable!! I have the tires already in my shop waiting for the lift. I can't find any M/Ts in load range E that will fit the stock ride height Or I would have done that!!

I Measured the Fabtech Shocks 32.5"s the stock shocks are 32"s. How the hell has this company been able to do business for even one Year?!! If you build a lift that raises the rear-end 8"s you had better be able to supply a shock that is 8"s longer then Stock!!

Man that is terrible. Did they piece together a kit for you and threw in misc. stuff? I would demand a refund or send it back.
