OK guys and gals, I have secured my fabtech 3" spindle lift with rear blocks. Nice looking spindles too.

Anyone got any install tips, things like how long did it take, how was the alignment afterwards, did you need the adjustment bushings, do alignment shops carry these?

I wonder what it would cost to have the spindles installed by an alignment shop?

Was thinking about installing the monroe reflex shocks while I'm in there. Anyone have the reflex shocks on the spindle lift?

Tips and feedback are greatly appreciated.

Where did you order them from? Thanks

 

Search back on some suspension posts buy a guy named Roberto. He did the install and had shown some tools and things needed in the post. i believe he said it was an all day install..and that you needed a pitman arm puller

How much did your spindles cost? and what size tire are you going with?

Got the fabtech kit for 450 from RV Performance. 949.366.9590

It took about a week of shopping around, prices ranged from 450 to 750 for the same kit.

I wanted to keep the suspension close to stock, as this is my daily driver in miami traffic. After the 4.10s some time next year, I may add an additional 3.5 suspension lift kit.
