Discontinued Fabtech Lift

Anyone know what lifts where made for an f150 97 to 03 2wd. Theres a guy selling a 8.5inch lift with dual shock hoops. Never heard of fabtech ever making more then a 7.5 inch lift. he says the kits about 5 years old. It isnt the long travel kit. Its just spindles coils and upper arms. Dual shock hoops for each side and a engine crossmember any body help me out here with a link ? or somewhere I can read up about that

Ya fabtech never made an 8.5 inch lift. The biggest for 2wd has been the 7.5 inch crossmember. He must have had a leveling kit or something on it

Well im thinking its just the basic 6inch fabtech lift that was discontinued... but it also has dual shock hoops. ive only seen the long travel kit have dual shock hoops but never seen just a reg 6inch lift have it? so im wondering where I can find info on that.

You could get a dual shock hoop for the 7.0 performance lift ( new upper control arm, 3.5" spindle and 3.5" coil with stock lower control arm), however it was most commonly seen on the 7" long travel kit that replaced both lower and upper control arms, the spindle and the coil.
i would also steer away from fabtechs older 7.0 performance lift because they had a flaw in the design of the upper control arm, and many customers experienced cracks and breaks at the welds closest to where the upper control arm attaches to the frame.
