Suspension Upgrade

Looking at replacing upper control arms on my 2015 2500HD. I understand there are some to give more clearance when u level the front by screwing on the torsion bars. Should I only do UCA or are there other mods I should do to help ride quality. Which control arms are recommended? thanks in advance

I bought keys first and of course cranked them past their "green" area and my ride quality was awful at best. So I went back and installed upper control arms, new spindles as well as all 4 shocks. (came with the FABTEC 4" level) I Clear 35" tires now with no problem and the ride quality is perfect. Stiff but still a great ride!

Do you have the part number for that kit? I can only find a 2.5 level kit on their site.

FTS21108 is the ball joint kit

FT21130 is the uniball kit

You can get these kits in any combination.... different shocks,ball, ball joint....etc

Dang!! That's pretty awesome. Do you have any information on that? I did some looking around and couldn't find any.

I'm really interested in seeing price point and some more reviews on handling!

Oh my! That's a game changer for the HD's. I wonder how crazy the price will be...

If it comes in under 4k I would be suprised honestly. You are looking at around 2k just for the shocks. I am buying it reguardless...Just have to start sneaking a little money from the wife every week till they get released, Ha! Hopefully they come out before I need new ball joints. Maybe they will sell it with a diff drop kit also. Anything above 2" in the front is a little sketchy if you plan on using 4x4 on a regular basis
