    Hi i was looking into fabtechs 4 inch lift, its a spindle lift. Are spindle lifts on a 4x4 bad it comes with a differential drop so that would help the geometry. I was wanting to go as high as possible with out cutting the crossmemeber. Here is a video custom offsets did for a dealer vehical.

    Since there are no threads on spindle lifts I guess it's a bad idea. Just ordered the toy tech adjustable coil over kit.

    I have been looking at this kit and want to purchase it for the 4", custom offsets told me that the 4" rough country kit using cross members is a better for geometrics of suspension. But in their video they really talk it up..

    How did the coil over kit work out? And photos before and after?

    It worked out great so far. I just wanted the biggest lift without hacking up my truck. The fender wells to ground are 41 inches which is a little more than 3 inch lift and i didnt max out my coil overs. That's with stock tires also. This is after its hard to tell.

    If I had to do it over I would have order the ebach coil kit and a set of tuff country ucas. Use promo code US ARMY at Bilstein lifts and go to suspension connection and order the uca s it the same price as the bilstein kit alone.

    Why would you do it over again, didn't like the ride? How are your CV angles?

    I have been all over the map with a plan for my lift... I feel like I have settled into the decision of the @toytec eibach kit with the total chaos upper control arms.

    Thanks, no I'm not going to do it over just was saying. It rides good cant tell a difference really. Yes im going to get some wheels and tires haven't decided on which ones yet. When I got my alignment they said the stock ball joints and c.f. axles were fine but almost at the max.
