This truck has 4.5" fabtech spindles.

^^^^ yeah, fabtech spindles and 2" blocks. i had to grind a lil off the knuckles to clear the tires. if you run a .25" wheel spacer they clear.
no trimming of any metal or anything.

here they are on my burb stock height. the tires rubbed on the frame and swaybar at full lock.

they arent listed on fabtech's website but i believe they still make them. best bet is google search. and if you find a place that says they have them, call and make sure.
when i bought mine, fabtech told me i got the last set and they were quitting production. but 4yrs later they made another run and put them back on their website, now they are gone again.

fabtech p# fts1588-7 is just for the spindle kit, not including shocks and rear stuff.

Are there any cons to 2" wheel spacers? my front tires stick out a little past the fenders but the rear don't. I would like the back to stick out the same distance as the front.

nope just make sure you get STEEL not aluminum spacers. they cost way more but are a million times safer

It's definatly firm! I will admit, I didn't expect it to be THAT much firmer with the new coils, but it does ride firm. My shocks before were shot so maybe that threw me off for the comparison. Either way, I'm very happy with how the truck turned out.

Has the ride softened up any yet?

I would say that it's less less factor of the ride getting softer and more that I am getting used to the new ride quality.

Overall, I am very happy with the new setup.
