4 inch fabtech "lift"


Recommended Posts

Posted

The fabtech knuckles didn't increase track width. The kit came with keys, ucas, longer shocks and knuckles. and several people I work with have ran Cognito ucas, and switched them out with fabtech or kryptonite due to pre mature failiure. They only get about 15k miles before they are worn out. I went with the fabtech not by choice, but because it's what lesschwab carried and my dealership would only let lesschwab touch my truck, otherwise it would void my warranty. Also, check out the tie rod angles on cognitos leveling kits. They are way worse. In my honest opinion, if someone is going to level their truck, get a fabtech 4 inch and turn it down to 2.5. Just cranking your t-bars will result in pre mature failure. Also as i said in my above post, lesschwab screwed me over, so I've made the best of it. But so far after the changes I've made, I'm rather happy with it. Plus fabtech has a 5 year 60k mile "power train" warranty on all their products, so that made it a little better.

I never said the Fabtech knuckles widen the track, I said the lift kits widen the track, the Fabtech knuckles do not allow the for full turning radius, the stock knuckles turn much sharper.

 

The angles are the angles unless you cut the frame and drop the diff, does not matter what kit/lift/level, oy thing you can do is install diff spacers.

 

Cognito upper control arms are not the problem, their junk ball joints are, I even made sure to say you should install quality Spicer ball joints...

 

I trust the factory parts cranked all the way up to last longer then Fabtech parts cranked down.

 

A level is a level, I don't care how you do it.
