I started to install my 3 1/2 FabTech spindle lift today on my 2001 F-150 2wd. Since I bought the spindles used I don't have any instructions with them. Got the factory spindles off and installed one of the Fabtech spindles. The factory ones came with 3 taped bolt holes where the disc brake dust covers bolt to. The Fabtech ones do not have any holes. Am I suppose to leave these duct covers off now? They look like they have a wheel bearing seal cover (or something) stamped on them where they match up to the rear of the brake caliper. Not sure what to do??

Any help would be great!

 

on my fabtech lift for my 4x4 the dust covers are left off i asume it is the same for the 2x4

 

yea, I dont recall a dust cover when i installed my fabtech spindle. But you might want to call fabtech to check.

 

The guys at 4 wheel parts said the dust cover doesn't go back on the truck.
Thanks for all the replys
