Are the 2 inch fabtech leveling kits really that stiff?

Anyone have any lessons on them.

I thought 2" leveling would be fine for now, and 3 inch spindles would be a nice follow up later.

Any ideas?

i can think of right now

 

Don't do it.

Get The 3.5" Fabtech coil lift with upper control arms, shocks & 1.5 or 2" add-a-leafs in the rear.

The 2" kit is very hit and miss. In my case, it's been mostly miss.

I've got the Fabtech leveling coils on my truck. I've had them for about a year now and the ride is not bad. It's definitely stiffer than the stock ride, but not by much. I went with this lift 'cause I didn't want to spend the money on the a-arm lift. Now I'm wishing I'd spent the money. The truck sits level, but now I want some bigger tires (285/75/16) and a little more lift. I'm probably going to go with the Camburg a-arm kit. Anyway, I also haven't been able to keep the truck aligned since I put the springs on. I've taken it to the shop a couple of times, and it has always pulled. Here's a pic of the truck with the leveling coils and stock wheels/tires.

Thanks for the input. The 3 inch fabtech spindles are on the way. Spindles and blocks now.....Springs and add a leafs later...
