fabtech lift kit

[schneiderz]

I want anyone that knows something about lift kits to tell me if this is a good setup/buy, or if i should look for a diffrent one. I have an 03 ford ranger.

i have never heard complains from it you might want some better shocks though and i think in the video section they have a fabtech vs. camburg vid and it shows this one compared to the camburg 5.5 and if you have the definately go with camburg but that is a good alternative

watch the welds on the control arm over time. my buddy had the fabtech spindle and upper a arm/coil lift on his f150 and the control arm broke at the weld as he was turning onto a freeway on ramp going about 15 mph. destroyed his tire...lucky for him he wasnt actually on the freeway or started accelerating yet

yea dude out at the desert broke his spindle extention and my buddys small body blazer broke him out. sick the way he just pulled him out. but watch for weak points. i have lift spindles and they are all iron. g2g

Schneiderz, is that link you have posted at the top of the page just for the coil springs or for the entire kit?

Fabtech spindles are not meant to be beat on. If you plan on beating on your truck I would look at Camburg.

sorry for my lack of knowledge about the suspension lifts, but can you replace your stock coil springs with just the fabtech springs and still achieve a couple inches of lift without the new control arms or spindles?
