i believe there are a few members on the forum who are running this setup, the problems are the cv angles and the premature ball joint wear. I know this has been talked about before. Do a search and you might come up with something.

Several members are running the fabtech with the leveling kit. If I had a leveling kit when I got my 6" fabtech I would have left the leveling kit on to for 8" of lift.

How large of a tire are you planning on running? If you only want 35's, leave it off. If you are going with something larger, reinstall it with the lift.

I recently had my 6" Fabtech lift installed and had the shop remove my 2.5" leveling kit. I think the lift and my 35" tires I installed give me plenty of lift, take a look in my gallery for more pics of the truck.

If you have a 2WD truck you will need larger blocks for the rear to prevent the truck from sagging.
