what would you rather have: fabtech with the coilover and 2.5 spacer or cst.... remember the cst uses stock front coilovers!!! but comes with new upper control arms....... i dono i cant decide!!!!!!! help

 

CST

 

thats what i was thinking but they still use stock front coilovers and it $700 more then the fabtech!!!

 

any other opinions.........

 

fabtech. you get new coilovers for 700 less and not just any coilover, fabtech coilovers.

i think fabtech is awesome. they make a great product.

 

its not a good idea to do the fabtech with the spacer and the coil overs unless u keep the coil overs adjusted as low as they go. if u raise them all the way ull be paying 150$ within a month for a new set of ball joints and maybe cv joints. ppl already complain about pre mature wear with just spacers

 

I agree its not the best idea but Ive been runnin the spacer and Fabtech for a year or so(23,000 miles) w/o replaceing anything.

 

if u already have the spacer, either sell it or dont use it. it sounds like youre wanting to do some decent off roading if ure that enthused about coil overs. id say go with the fabtech and get the sway aways for 500$ shipped to u. adj. hieght 0-3" and i think the travel is like 11 " !!!, this gives u 9" of height!! sweet! and still cheaper than cst

 

but wouldnt tightening thoughs things upto get the three inches be just like putting the spacer on???

 

the only thing they are similar in, is giving the hieght. any nice show truck or built up truck will have coil overs because they work

 

CST, why not Rize though? Just curious.

 

Guys I'm new to lifts and leveling kits and I've been reading almost all the post here. I am a little confused though and noticed this thread about the leveling kits and lifts together. Why do you need to run both? I thought the lift alone would make the truck sit level. Like I said still learning.

 

first off the rize is sweet but it doesnt come with the coilovers so thats a reason the fabtech apeals a little more and it doesnt come with new upper control arms and ball joints thats why i like the cst..... but the rize kit is nice.. its just a "show" lift, its not made for off roading as much as the cst is or fabtech.... not saying it doesnt off road well its just more open to wearing out parts while off roading such as "ball joits."

 

the point of putting a leveling kit on top of a lift is to gain more hight in front.... the fabtech is a 6'' lift you put a 2.5" spacer on top of that and you get a 8.5" of lift= now you can fit bigger tires and mor ground clearance it has nothing to do with making the tuck level...

 

one more question for ya .... sence the fabtech brings all the angles back to stock wouldnt putting a leveling kit on top of that be just like putting a leveling kit on a stock truck????? that makes some sence in my brain how bout you???
