I just installed my FabTech 3 1/2" spindle lift on my 01 F-150.

Looks great but the wheels and tires seem to stick out more from under the fender wells.

My question is are these spindles made to actually trac wider then the stock spindles???

 

yep. mine do the same thing. i put 1 inch wheel spacers on the back to make it look right

 

I agree. They increase front track width a couple of inches.

 

It's weird because I was running 305/70R16's on 8"wheels with 4" back spacing and they didn't rub before the lift.

Now they rub BIG time on the front bumper plastic airdam.

Oh well it looks like I'll just have to trim the front airdam alittle.

 

hey pj4553

How long have you had your spacer on? I also have the fabtech spindle lift on my 2wd and was wondering if you have had any problems with the spacers.

I have heard a lot of bad stuff about spacers!

Do you do any off roading?

Anybody else with this knowledge feel free to chime in.

 

ive heard bad things about them but just the cheap ones. i got some that cost 140 bucks and they work fine. no wobble or anything. plus they look way better

 

I wouldnt trust them doing things off road!
