Thought I would share some pics of my weekend project - installing my 6" Fabtech lift. I previously installed a pro-comp 6" lift on my '07 in my garage so I figured I could handle this one as well. In my opinion, this install was actually easier than on the '07. Maybe because I had more expirence, but I think the kit itself was easier. Like dropping the front differential down into the new lower crossmembers without even having to remove the front driveshaft vs. having to completely remove the entire axle assembly on the 07. Little things like that. I cranked the torsion bars up just a bit higher than stock position as well. Anyways - onto the pics!

BEFORE:


Talk about a rake!


Progress:

 

 

Yeah buddy......... some new shoes and shes set to roll

 

looks awesome dude, well on her way to looking as good as your 07

 

sweet. looks like you have a nice sized garage too.

 

you gonna add a body lift to it and 38's?

truck looks nice. I cant wait to have mine rolling agian.

 

Yes, that is my plan. I have the 3" PA body lift and gap guards sitting in the garage. Still have to buy wheels/tires/4.88 gears then I'll be ready to install it. My plan is **** Cepek DC-1 polished wheels with 38" Mickey Thompson MTZ's or Toyo M/T's. Leaning towards the MTZ's since everyone already has the Toyo's. I'm still driving the '07 in the meantime for another month before I turn it back in (lease).

 

Looks good JD!
I really need to quit looking at your truck I keep wanting to get it higher, but I need to get the audio done already first

 

Nice work man, looks great! One question, I thought it was a big no-no to stack blocks?

 

That's what I thought but that's how this kit is. My '07 Pro Comp lift stacked blocks too. They have pins in them so they can't come apart or 'shift'. Might replace it with a solid 5" block eventually but who knows. That's the way it was designed I guess.

 

Nice work in progress

 

looks good man! idk if its just me but it doesnt look THAT much bigger than the 07 next to it. maybe because it still has stock tires on it

 

yeah thats why its so close. Plus the 97-03 sat lower than the 04+

 

Plus the '07 is on an incline/hill where the '01 is sitting flat. Look at the angle the '07 is sitting, that's why it looks as tall.

 

Nice work, truck looks awesome. How long did it take ya to do?
