I had wondered the same thing. But was assured it will work. I will be getting the same one. Actually have it on my xmas list already mailed to santa. Im sure the elves are working on them. You got a spacer with your fabtech?

Thanks for the help fellas! lltolj, I dont have a spacer on my kit. One item i recommend for this kit is Bilstein 5100's, they have made a huge difference in ride and handling.

Why are you getting the new arms then? just curios. Any issues with your camber? are you using the eccentric cam bolts? Good to know on the shocks. Ive been totally satisfied with the fabys

You might want to throw a spacer in your front after installing. It might be difficult getting the camber into spec with the longer arms if you don't.

yea bro they may be to long with no spacer in there. if your gonna run them arms your gonna need more work done. which means more money spent. your gonna need atleast the 2 inch spacer. then your gonna want to bring the back up with what ever you choose on doing. id go with a deaver F79 and a small block to get you the rest of the height. that be about another grand right there. you could go the cheap way tho and not use the arms.

When I installed the 3" springs with my Doetsch UCA's, after my alignment guy tinkered with the camber for a little while I still had slight positive camber with it being adjusted all the way in. Therefore meaning I still needed a little more lift to be able to make it just right. Every truck is going to be different, but you will need a spacer regardless. For only $80 they would be worth the buy even if you held onto them for a while or even flipped and resold them for profit. I think I paid about $350 for mine.

I still have my daystar 1.5" spacer sitting in the garage but don't want to put it on as it had aged and started to sag a bit. Eventually I will be ordering a 2" spacer and a bigger block and an AAL.

If its going to be that much trouble and cash I might as well keep my current setup. I have the moog UCA's and they are fine for the time being. I think I might just buy them and flip them. Thanks
