Fabtech adjustable coilovers

I have the Fabtech 0-3" adjustable coilovers and love them. I can still go up about another 1 1/4" but am sitting pretty level with the stock height rear. The ride is great. Seems just as smooth as with the stockers on smooth surfaces and a much better ride on rough roads.

It is pretty easy. The top of the coilover is threaded and you just spin it with a metal bar they provided. I'll post some pictures of the top of the coilover and the wrench tonight after work.

Thanks, and I appreciate you not telling me to search. I search my a-- off on here all the time, but for suspension I missed something 'cause many were coming up w/o the coilover.

Perryadam,
If you don't mind me asking, what did the coilovers run, and did you need anything else to install them or just the coilovers.

Les Schwab ordered them and put them on for me as part of some recompensation for the problems I was having with the 22" wheels they sold me. Essentially I got the Coilovers for around $800.00 and they installed them, put my stock rear shackles back on for me and did a four wheel alignment for free. Hell of a deal if you ask me.

I believe they also make the coilovers for a 4x4. Mine obviously are for a 2 wheel drive but when I called fabtech they asked me if I had a 4x2 or 4x4 because they were different.
