Fabtech 6in lift

I've had 35's for years with our one single problem.

 

? If i recall, Im one of the few in the thread who does know what they are talking about.

 

Exactly. Thats why i think anything over 35 is over kill. Im going 35s for my next set of tires, im sure ill break some CVs since ill be locked in the front, but its all part of it.

 

A friend of mine insists on welding the db to the frame. Bolting doesn't seem to bother me too much, though I had considered support welds in the past.

 

Seems like a pretty good idea to help with strength.

 

Just found this thread now, bit late but figured I'd post anyways. I had a 03 ext cab with the heavy duty ome springs, built right uca's,elite fab bumper and a m 8000 winch, I loved it but did find the ride very very stiff. I had some heavy duty skids on it and seemed pretty solid, I ran 285.70 17 km2's with it.I just sold it last week becasue I bought an 02 double cab. The only reason I sold the truck was for working(hunting guide) I needed to have back seats. The double cab came with a 6" fabeteck db lift and 35's. I switched my bumper battery and winch over and imo looks badass. I didn't measure ground clearance on either truck but it seems with the 35's I have about the same as the 3" which is mostly becasue of the tires. Ill post some pics tomorrow of both the trucks I find the 6" looks better imo and the rides seem a bit better, I haven't been able to offroad it hard yet but time will tell if it will survive. Sorry for the novel haha just thought i throw in my 2 cents

 

i was going to get a 3'' but i want my cv's and other things to be as close to stock as possible. i want it to last cuz i plan on keeping truck a long time and dont wana replace things so it seems smarter to spend the extra $$ on DB lift. i drive "off road" every day on gravel and muddy roads but i do not do any ''rock crawling'' or abusing.. so i think the DB is perfect if u wana save ur angles and dont rock crawl.. im with sulos i dont wana beat up my 30K truck.. i want it to last

 

They're ok but the drop bracket just takes out so much clearance IMO

 

I measured mine against a someone at my school who has a 3", there isn't any significant different. May depend on the db though...

 

I will be writing a detailed review of the side by side comparison of the 6" and 35's vs the 3" and 35's sense I will have both and not change the trails I wheel on an also the daily drive of the two different set ups

 

How does this make any sense? You gotta CUT TO PUT A DB in....

 

Not if your 2wd!!!!

 

2wd.....

 

Ya that's why I don't come on this site that much anymore. Many guys are a bit arrogant, the know it all type. There are many different components out there that will tweak your truck out for you just the way you need it. DB has worked more than fine for me. I'll try to snap some pics too for the comparision.

 

I know its got pretty bad the guy didnt ask if he should get a 3 inch over a 6 he just asked for advice and her come the haters on big lifts.Dont get me wrong i have a 3 inch on mine but im not goin to bad mouth any one with a 6 because i think if u set up your truck the way you wont it thats bad ass to me

 

I just ordered Icon c/o's for my Warpony then it's on!

 

For the lift. A lift is a lift 4wd or not.

 

I get what you are saying, I think its as retarded as much as you do. But someone w/ a prerunner can still use a DB lift to get the 6'' of lift.

Can you get 6'' of lift with coils/spindles?

 

agreed
