I have no need for Race suspension, What about Fabtec with Dirt logic's

[BigDan]

Hey I need to lift my rig at least 4. 5" and was looking at Fabtech's 4. 5" with dual Dirt Logic Shocks with resivoir's. Fabtech has been launcing lots of new products similar to racing like their 4. 0" coilover's Superduty.



Dont bother trying to convince me to buy Racing suspension by KORE. I have no need for a tiny 2. 5" lift, and I also dont plan on racing my $40,000 7,000lb Diesel truck. You can buy good shocks from anybody, so I mainly looking for a good lift and then adding Shocks (Bilstiens 7100, Dirt Logic's, SAW, ect)



I just want it to look good with bling shocks, and need 4. 5+ inches so my big Road Armor bumper doesnt look LAME sittin in the grass.



I was also looking at Superlifts 4. 5" but it would be a big PITA to get the shocks I want since the dont sell a kit w/o shocks. I'd like dual front shock's like Fabtech hoop, with either 7100's or DL's.



Any and all info reguarding these lifts and shocks is welcome

Superlift

Fabtech

Bilstien 7100

Dirt Logic 2. 5 w or w/o resivoir

Superlifts dual steering stableizer's



Like I said before im not interested in KORE, Lorenz (except their shock towers) Carli since I dont want to spend over 2K and need 4. 5" and dont RACE.....

You won't be able to fit a 2. 5 Series Remote Reservoir Shocks in the truck with 4. 5" of lift w/o some cutting. An Internal Reservoir 2. 25 mounted upside down would work but then you loose the "big shock" look because the body is down low behind the tire.

FabTech makes some very high quality lift kits, and components. I would not hesitate to use them for one moment.



I used them to lift my 2wd Ford and had not troubles at all. Everything fit and looked right. After several years it is still working like it should, and looking good. If I had one area I would improve upon, it would mostlikely be the shocks that came in the kit. Not unlike any other basic shock that is included in a lift kit, they could definitely be improved upon. My son drives the truck, and at the ripe old age of 18, he thinks it rides great. But really, in the last 5 years shocks have durmatically improved, and so has the price. That would be my only complaint.

On my Dodge, I used the FabTech dual shock hoop as the anchor for the dual shock system I wanted to install. Again, the parts were very well built, powder coated and fit right. That kit is still in service, and although I am in the process of yet another front end remake for the Dodge, the FabTech dual shock hoop is the only used part I plan on keeping.

Good luck with your project and let us know how it went.

Here's a few pics of te Fabtech kit.



I was also tossing around the idea of going a cheaper route of getting the Superlift 4. 5" w/ bilstiens and add a chepo dual shock kit from Top Gun Customs w/ a resivior shock
