Fabtech backorder???

Am I the only one waiting on a Fabtech basic 4x4 lift? I haven't noticed anyone posting about their backorders.

I ordered mine through Top Gun Customz at the beginning of April, and their latest of many ETA's is the first of August (I have every bit of confidence it will be extended even further). They claim the problem is with getting their hands on spindles. My belief is this is due to their bankruptcy, leaving their previous supplier high and dry with their old debt, forcing them to find a new supplier.

I don't mind waiting as I've been working on this for nearly a year. I ordered my Procomp wheels last August and it took me 8 months to get them. My concern is whether or not Fabtech's quality will be as good as everyone has described them in the past due to using new suppliers. Would yall have any concern there? I've also paid in full and I don't like having that much money just sitting out there.

I'm tempted to get the Procomp stage II kit since I can pick it up for only a couple hundred more than what I paid for the Fabtech basic. Would you just wait it out or go with the Procomp stage II?

x2 thats freaking to long, there aint no problem with the procomp lifts, the only people have to bash them about is because they use a 6" spacer up front which you wont have that, So I say go for the stage 2

I am facing a similar problem, ordered a Fabtech 6" with all the dirtlogics a month ago from the 4Wheelparts store here. Most everything is in but missing a component box for the front with all the hardware and instructions and from what I am told Fabtech is having to put the Dirtlogics for the rear end together. I am not in a rush since I have not settled on what wheels and tires i want, but the guys at 4wheelparts have been great about getting answers from Fabtech, I couldn't imagine buying the kit online and trying to get a hold of someone with answers as to why i don't have it yet. I would be a little upset if it took as long as it has for you, not sure if I would cancel and switch or not, but I would be looking for solutions if they extended the ETA again.
