Definitely something wrong here, I have my coilovers cranked down entirely at that.

Ive been next to a 4x4 supercrew w 6" Procomp and I was at least 2" maybe 3" taller.

you angles won't be as good anymore, but won't cause any issues, just pre mature ball joint wear, but not enough to notice probly. it would be the same as putting a spacer on a unlifted truck

With the 2WD Fabtech lift do you need to install a new drive shaft? How is traction? Would traction bars be worth anything? I couldn't tell from the kit picture does it come with new brake lines? How is the steering? Need steering dampners? Thanks, I just started looking really hard at this install.
