6" Fabtech Drop Bracket lift - Fabtech shocks suck but seem to be the only option.

Yeah, looks a bit more suitable. What did those run ya?

 

They were about $350. Rear shocks were about $100.

 

So. Rough Country mounted. No bueno. The truck is touching the bump stops. I am assuming there is a geometry difference between the RC lift and the FT lift. Since these springs are designed to hold the weight of this truck I ordered some 2" spacers to put up top. Hopefully this will get the truck sitting where it should.

 

Pics of the carnage on the side that magically did not come apart on me on the trail!

 

Also I did a little measuring and looks like a 3" puck would get my UCAs horizontal. So I'm returning the 2" puck and I ordered a 3" puck.

 

Yeah, that might be your only option. Just make sure that won’t allow the suspension to over droop or you’ll break your balljoints, TRE’s and CV’s.

 

Any idea how to determine what is over drooped?

 

The CV’s are a good sign. Jack it up and at full droop see if the CV’s bind or click at any angle. If so it’s probably dropping too far. Everything seems to bind at about the same angle.

 

So spacers didn't work. They over extended the suspension. The rough country were the right length, I think they just needed more pre load on the spring.

I ended up ordering another set of the crappy Fabtech shocks and paired them with the stock coils. I used new KYB top hats which have the lower rubber grommet molded into the top hat. I'm hoping this solves the odd wear issue and the damper rod pulling through the washer...
