Anyone with a 6" Fabtech lift...

In the process of installing mine and when you look at the front diff from the side in the new drop brackets it's ****ed a little (rear of the diff down). Hope this is making sense??

Anyone else seeing this on their lift?

yeah the front diff is a little off from what I remember, diff tilt is common but there is a lot of "give", you'll notice when there is a load placed on your 4wd the front diff will "climb" the mounts, or rise a little. Increasing the cv angles. I'm sure it's high pinion.

This is my first lift on the new 150 so I wasn't sure how it was "supposed" to be... Thanks for the reply!

Not me, I'm not a hard core off roader... There isn't that many places around me to wheel. I'm really thinking about a body lift now. I want to clear 37/38's with no rubbing.
