suspension lift kit update.....no fabtech

ive been calling around and fabtech said the coil overs only come in blue. im doing a "blackout" theme on my truck.

ive decided to go with superlift 6". the shocks are a silver color just like my truck. plus its a tad cheaper than fabtech.

this truck







with these wheels




a big blue shock under there wont look good

Lol, yea sorry. I've got the blue MX6 coilovers in the procomp kit. I dont have any pictures of the front setup. I can take some when i get home. I was taken aback when i saw the similarities in trucks

it rides great. You feel bumps when you hit them slow, but you can take speed bumps without slowing down no problem.

i've got the mx6 rear shocks.

ha ha ha.... sorry man. Na, your great at checkin your mail and callin people back, never had a problem with that, it was more of a "good luck" for her getting it all together and installed. Plus, going something other then Fabtech may require some luck (im kidding)

ive been doing my homework when i can. i saw some post on here i think, of parts of a procomp lift that were bent and damaged. this made me not want a pro comp lift.

my friend owns a linex shop and he sells lifts. he directed me away from superlift and back to fabtech.

im going back to a fabtech lift now. the question is..... the cheaper lift or the big daddy more expensive kit?

crash, can you get these fabtech kits? im interested in the one with the big coils up front.

The damaged pro comp lift was from a guy who abused his truck and rode it really hard off road I'm pretty sure. that won't happen if you don't abuse your truck.
