Bilsteins on a fabtech lift

Seahawk · Sep 28, 2015

Good idea or really bad? Really want to do it but my local 4 wheel parts pretty much said not to. As I don't trust those guys, I would love your opinions

Plenty of guys running them here, I don't think I've seen somebody run them with a fabtech lift but you should be okay, just watch the ball joints on the upper control arms.

Fabtech not popular here? I've been told that if I install them then I'm gonna blow out my cv joints in like a 1000 miles...

Most people, like myself, have BDS or Zone kits here. I know that when you add more lift, especially up front, you have a higher chance of wearing out parts faster but 1000 miles seems ridiculous. What height are you thinking about setting them at?

I was thinking 2.1 with a rear block: I want to fit 37s. That should be enough clearance right?

You should clear those no problem.

Dantheman · Sep 29, 2015

^x2 You should be fine, may have to trim the liners a little depending on your offset

That's not a big deal.. But it sounds like I might lose the warrenty on my lift if I install bilsteins

Dantheman · Sep 30, 2015

How would they know if you installed them? Unless you told them. That's one of the reasons I went with BDS, they have a really great warranty.

Well if something ever went wrong with the lift, then they would find out when they were fixing it

They told me the same thing they will not warranty your left if you stack little if you had any spacers struts that is not with the fab tech suspension they will void it.

Dantheman · Sep 30, 2015

I've never actually seen a part break that come with a kit, so I can't really say much there. I just assumed you could take a picture of the broken part and send it to them with proof of purchase or something and they send you a new one... I also installed my kit myself, so I don't know who or where to take it if I need something replaced.

Do you run a fabtech kit?

Thatdude596 · Sep 30, 2015

pro comp with a few other bells n whistles to ride high
4 wheel parts installed the 6 suspension lift all other lifts were done by myself

Seahawk · Sep 30, 2015

I'm hoping to find someone whose running a fabtech kit with the extra lifts

Rzrman328 · Sep 30, 2015

Honestly I don't know very many dudes runnin the fabtech lifts.

Seahawk · Sep 30, 2015

Any reason no one does?

Rzrman328 · Sep 30, 2015

Probably price.
