Fabtech, ProComp 6" lift or more. Pictures

All the icon’s will do is be adjustable for a ride comfort, flexibility. You won’t loose anything on height.

 

Okay, I'm looking to replace my D/S FabTech Spindle. Evidently your not supposed to run into a wall at speed

Let me know if anyone has any extra parts laying around from a FabTect 6in lift. I'd also be interested in the two stabilizer bars.

 

Stabilizer Bar? What does that look like? I have my factory bilsteins with the fabtec spacers yet. The yellow one in the pic

 

Got my King coilovers installed this week. 25001-619A with Finned reservoirs and 600# springs. Set height at 25.5" hub to fender. Smoothest ride I've ever experienced. I thought my 5100's were smooth... these Kings make them feel like $20 VatoZone specials.

I did a shakedown right after I installed them. Threw 12 click of compression in and they sat at 24"/24.5" hub to fender. My GOD, they eat up everything. Did manage to bottom out a couple times on some big whoops, but at 1.5" lower than normal, I'm not surprised. Cruised a "smoother" section at 50mph and felt like a side street. Hit 70mph on a rougher bit and she was just gliding.

I do experience the abrupt topout that Kings are known for. But the ride quality more than makes up for it. Might look into limit straps to dampen the blow.

It's too early to tell, but I may need to go to 650# springs. I'll go thrash these around the desert for a few months and find out.

For anyone interested, I had to preload 11 turns on drivers side and 6 turns on passenger side. I also have custom length/travel bolt-in rears to match.

 

Looks good man

What did this setup run you with the custom rears?

 

Thanks!
Finned resi's are $75/piece, custom length is $200/pair. Front and rear have both upgrades.

 

Are there any solid replacements for 6" DB front shocks? Really dont want to be bothered with the 6" pre-load spacer anymore. Does any company make them? BDS wants $2200 for front and rear fox shocks. Really dont want to pay that to get rid of the spacers if I dont have to..

 

Icon coilovers like these

 

They look different heights.. and is there really any savings?

 

The yellow one is the factory bilstein shock with the spacer the left is icons coilover shock fully adjustable to your driving style and height adjustable for camber also.

 

Have a part number by chance? Cant see those being any cheaper than the $2200 CDN fox shocks

 

Bilstein/rcd 5100's can get rid of your spacers. Then you have fox,icon and king that offer coilovers. Pm me if you have any questions.

 

Ive got 5100 bilsteins, but max setting is 2.5"

 

The rcd 5100's are extended and different than standard 5100's. I'm currently running them and they are a great budget friendly option. You can completely remove the tophat spacer. That with eibach coils will put you right where you need to be.

 

These will give you 5" of lift then you get the additional lift from the coil itself with no spacer.

Bilstein f4-be5-e122

 

You also have more budget friendly options like Radflo and Sway Away although I can not locate the 6in option from Sway Away right now, I have seen them before they were bought out by aFe.

 

I think I paid a total of $1300 for both front coilovers and I did the install myself.

 

I also called and ordered my icon coilovers from wheelers off-road. Just call and tell them why you have and they will set you up with the coilovers. Good luck

 

I found a # on the coilover spring itself not sure if it’s the whole coilover or just the spring
The number is #158504 hope this helps you out.

 

Radflo any good? Saw a set for $800 on there for both front shocks. Seems like a good enough deal
