Fabtech Dual Stabilizers

I got around to ordering the dual Fabtech stabilizers today. Looks like a pretty straight up installation from what I read on the Fabtech page. Anything special I need to know from those that have installed them??

Just added them myself and it was very easy to do. i have the same lift as you , you should have no problems - just make sure they don't get to close to the boot when you put them on, you'll see what I am talking about when you get under your truck. good luck. BTW your truck looks great!

Such a cool looking ride. I wouldn't get half a mile where I live without a ticket though, with that beast. Good luck with the clamps on that stabalizer setup.

Can I ask an off-topic question? With your 2.5" spacers in front, what did you use in the back? Did you ditch the 4" fabtech blocks and put bigger blocks in there? I've seen rigs with skyjacker springs in the back to eliminate blocks all together.

Trooks,

How much did the stabilizers improve the feel, ride, drive?

They helped a pretty good bit. It just feels firmer and smoother when turning the wheels now.

I guess im a little to late... I was gonna say its pretty easy though, only advice i have is make sure to tighten everything down good.. And mabey retighten everything after a couple hundred miles..

I had a problem with a nut or two comming loose after offroading trucks.. It would stay tight on the street, but when offroading it would start to back itself off the bolt...(Guess i shoulda put Loctite on it.)
