Attn Fabtech people!!!!

Hey guys I've been looking at lifts for my truck. Fabtech seems to pretty popular. Just wanted to see if there are any issues with the kit? What you like or dont like about it? Or any other comments.

Great kit! The shocks that come with it are doo doo though. I recommend getting different ones if you get a kit.

I have some bilstein race series. I am not sure which shocks they are exactly but they are a billet aluminum appearance. I installed my lift myself. It wasnt too bad, with the exception of the fact that I had to literally take off and replace everything. Thats just my kit though, the others are different.
