    Does anybody with a 6inch fabtech lift and rear fabtech shocks have a problem with there rear shocks slowly leaking oil?? What would cause this? Cheap shocks maybe?

    Fabtech... that's probably the reason.. they dont give you the best shocks. I dont think you are the first with this problem.
