    I removed fabtech coilovers from my 98. Replaced with toytecs. Had to buy some stock strut pieces. Top hat, rubber bushings and some large flat washers. Easy to remove.

    Yes the front crossmember is totally cut out with that lift!! Youd have to find a parts rig and cut that one to utilize. Unfortunately itd pry be easier to keep the dang kit on there...
