    Yeah true. I have to run glass which I wasn't expecting and I need a front bumper. All to clear the 35's

    Haha... you still see my old sig or somthn?

    Fabtech kit replaces the entire spindle, including the lower ball joint attachment. Procomp just replaces the top part re-using the lower ball joint mount and 4 bolts. I needed the whole setup, not just the top.

    Whats wrong with the old ones? Hopefully your cross member wont be so hard to fix. I have to make an insert and weld it to whats left of the old one by the alignment tabs

    I found a set up in Canada, the guy shipped them yesterday. He's only missing the $4/pc bolts... the lowers are included!

    I added up the price on the LT kit, It will cost about 5k to my door....

    Coil-over's will be 1300 + 3" springs for the back 600

    Or Procomp / fabtech 2k

    I think it makes more sense to get the 6" and run 35's ... gosh i cant decide

    LT lots of work???
    LT is a lot easier to install then fabtech or procomp. I am pretty sure you have to cut the lower mounts for the lower arm and weld on the fabtech kit.
    LT doesn't involve any welding or modifying, all bolt on. You can also run 35" tires on a LT suspension kit.

    Yes the install is very easy I know. But I was referring the the glass and the bumpers etc that you will want to have as well.

    I'm new at this and was wondering the same thing. But I have no idea what some of you are talking about with all the abbreviations and stuff. I'm trying to decide on a 6 in. Pro Comp stage 2 lift or a Fabtech 6 in. performance system. No rude replies please. Like I said, I'm new at this.
