Does anyone have the 5.5 inch Fabtech lift on their second gen?

I was looking at this kit versus the skyjacker and it looks very nice



Anyone with this kit? any pics? any problems?

Looking at the site and on their applications chart, it seems they are only listing it as a 2500 gas lift, not one for the diesel. They have had this lift out now for well over a year, at first it was a 1500 series only lift now 2500 has been added. I bought their performance 5. 5 lift for my Ford and it was awesome. They build a very nice and precise lift, the pieces are well crafted and powder coated. Not long ago, I talked to their engineering staff about the fit-a-ment of their front dual shock kit on my 3500 DRW. They were not going to tell me much about if it would fit my truck or not, sighting it was only released as a 1500 series addition. I studied several drawings and concluded it would work, so I ordered it and it installed just fine. I run the Bil stein 5150 series shocks that have been valved for multiple use up front, then seem to work very well and have been trouble free since the install. The truck gets alot of attention, the dual shock mount looks nice and is visible Thur the wheel well. Most do not expect a large dually to be wearing one when they pull up to the stop, it's about all some can see they set so low. If you think this might be the lift for you, then go for it, be the first to run it.

I saw someone at the High Desert Sled Pull with the Fabtech lift on their 2500 diesel. I wish i could get a hold of him. I talked to their tech guy today (Kenny) previously worked at Banks... He said that the lift will fit the diesel version because the rear springs are wide for v10/diesel app and the front springs are stronger than all the oem dodge springs... These also come with long links and the dual shock setup looks great...



The setup on your 3500 looks awsome!
