Question Fabtech Spindle lift for 2WD-Shock Question
Do you have to change out the front shocks when installing Fabtech's 3" spindles a 2WD? Does the kit come with longer shocks than standard?

lift spindles do not change the configuration of the front end they just relocate where the shaft is.

Crain, not sure if you HAVE to replace the shocks, but the Fabtech 3.5" Spindle Lift Kit does indeed come with new front and rear shocks, along with rear 2" blocks and U-bolts.

All,

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think I needed to replace the shocks but a shop guy told me I needed to. I suppose he was trying to increase his sales.
