Fabtech Vs Procomp

[jhndizzle]

has anyone else heard that the fabtech lifts are higher than the procomp lifts. both say six but the fabtech stance is about an inch higher so i guess it is 7'' anybody experienced this or heard. thank gents!!

I think it depends if the torsion bars were cranked up before the install and they didn't set then back to factory settings. You can get a extra inch or so out of any lift with torsion bars. This I would not recommend.

hey joe do you like the procomp lift. do you have any problems with rubbing

[pottercon]

I have the fabtech, my alingment guy said this is the best designed lift he has seen. Somewhere on fabtechs website it calls the lift a 7 inch then in another place it calls it a 6 inch. The only thing I dont like about it the steering radius is way less now, very noticible. Fabtech advertises it keeps close to factory radius, not true. My rear was lower than the front so I left my factory blocks in with the new blocks and the add a leaf kit.

07 and 08 dont have torsion bars

[silverado08]

Yeah, it works well on my 1500. It does rub slightly only on hard turning entering driveways. Maybe when the tires wear down some they won't rub. The rear is about 1"lower , I may have to take pottercon's advise and add the stock blocks also.

 

I was under the impression that the 07 & 08 3/4 ton - 1 ton trucks still had the older torsion bar set-up.

 

pottercon, nice looking rig!!

hey pottercon love the truck im getting my lift put on this week i will tell them to keep the factory block on and add the other one. i eventually want to put a body lift on so i will have about 10'' of lift. i already have 20x10 kmc rockstar wheels on mine will keep and add 35's down the road when i get body lift. there is a company called topguncustomz they are going to design a spacer for me to add to my lift so possibly 12'' of lift they make a lot for fords and titans for extra lift and i havent heard anything negative about there designs, people say the work just like the factory one but a little bigger spacer.

When you use your factory blocks plus lift blocks and the add a leaf you will have to get longer u bolts than the kit comes with, and longer rear shocks.

Did the lift's void your warranties when you guys had this done? That's the only thing that's stopping me from doing it. But I wanna lift my 2007 Silverado REALLY bad.

[jhndizzle]

yes it does void some warranty only the parts that were replaced with the lift pieces. you get warranty through the place the does the lift, plus the dealership still gives you the power train warranty. i know because my uncle is the president of a gmc dealership here.

ahhh OK.

 

So you get a warranty thru the place that installs the lift? Or thru the place that made the lift? How good is that warranty?
