Fabtech 7.5" long travel

Well as many of you know already, I bought the whole long travel set-up from fabtech. It took me forever to get it put on, and there were a few complications. BUT I managed to get it done!! So now I have pics! But they are very poor quality due to them being cell phone pictures. I will have some new, better ones for you guys asap though. This first one is kinda to be used as a reference 9" of lift in the front.

These are the long travel so I would guess its sitting at right about 11-12" of lift or so here.

This one is at the alignment shop Obviously needed.. look at the driver side tire

Awesome! But you need wheel spacers in the rear, your front tires are kicked out really far compared to the back. I love the fabtech blue on the kit.

This is for everyone that ask about new tires . I am going to run these tires for a couple months because I am getting a procharger this weekend. Not much left in the tires fund after

Yes sir! I am going to pick her up first thing in the morning from the alignment shop. After that, I can get all the pictures anyone would like. As far as the tires being wider in the front vs. the back, I like it. It is long travel so it might as well look like it as far as I am concerned
