    glad you like yours. I bet the 4 inch rides like butter. How are your rear shocks holding up?

    Fabtech 6 inch DB here. Stock 16s with 315-75-16! Love it. Never understood the DB hate as long as you lift it right. Helps with the Houston flood waters to have the extra height.

    I have a 6 inch rough country with fabtech uca and it pulls to the right no matter what. Mine is very very small pull but I've had it aligned at 3 different places and it's been the same everytime. Last place I went to guaranteed me it won't go straight. Besides that I love the lift. Ordering 6 inch coilovers here soon, not sure who to go with yet though.

    Not starting bolts by hand? Rookie move! Especially the ones that hold the LCA to the spindle. That steering stop on the bottom makes it a bitch to get those properly started. Lesson learned though and I'm sure you won't be doing that again :laugh: Anyways, congrats on the completed install.

    No armor but I would like to get a hidden winch. Those brackets/bumpers are just so expensive.

    :anonymous:I never said it was the best :rofl:but for the price range of a slimline you can’t beat it. I’m still ahead of say an ARB which I love but got this an a winch an saves the rest for the rear.

    Have you ever used any of their products? I've ran their kits on two jeep yj's. A cj and a zj. No issues except the shocks are on the stiff side.

    Plan on adjustable UCA's to get the alignment right. I got SPC'? I think was the name and they got it perfect. Also I've done quite a few different lift's on a few different trucks and by far the RC lift was the easiest to install as the parts all were in numbered bags that matched the instructions.

    I prefer to spend my money a lot wiser and buy real suspension that's actually useful and not spacer garbage sorry.... My full suspension rides better than spacers all day!
