Post your lifted 2wd's!

[Blue 04 Z71]

Due to the design of the lifted spindles, I can't see any way for them to make them so they DON'T stick out any. The lower ball joint mount is what makes them unable to be tucked back in to normal front track width. When switching to the 6-lug rear, you can probably find some 5-lug axles somewhere if you want to retain your 5-lug wheels, else you're stuck with a 5/6-lug vehicle, or switching front rotors out with 6-lug rotors.

I have a 2500 so I have 8 lugs so no worries about miss matched wheels lol.

Just a FYI, 88-90 10-bolts are 28-spline, 91+ 30- spline. Goes for 2wd and 4wd

obviously the 7.5 looks awesome but its hard to even see the difference in the two? what size tires did you downgrade too? i am looking to do one of the lift kits you have pictured which did you prefer? what were the costs after install and everything? and how hard is the 7.5 to install? i know the rc spindle lift is relatively simple but its hard to find info on the 7.5 fabtech... but either way your truck looks aweomse

 

[aggieman]

also what are you running on the spindle lift just 2" blocks and the 4" spindle or did you add spacers and aal's?

If you're gonna be towing or hauling ass, it's best not to run blocks, but instead use aal's or if you're using blocks, use something to control axle wrap, like a curved load spring.

There is actually a big diff between the two lifts, i went down to 285/70/17 i have put 6K in the suspension and tires between the two lift in this last year trying to get it to where i like it and I DONT~!!!!

The Fabcrap 7.5" lift is not hard to install, you need a welder and you have to trim the front lower crossmember to fit the drop bracket into no biggie. I think everything else was just bolt on... BUT DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY THEY DISCONTINUED THIS LIFT AND IM SURE ITS FOR A REASON>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you have to get lifted go with the RC spindles, FAWK that FABCRAP SHIAT!!!!!

I am stripping my truck and going down with it, its my DD and i like the way lowered trucks feel on the highway atleast the 2wd trucks.... Oh and i will buy a 4x for the trails and that i will lift


So the peeps that have Fabtech dont get but hurt this is my opinion and personnel experience thats all!

Right now the truck sits on the RC spindles and a 1" block in the rear, i didnt want to use blocks but had tooooooo much Cali to it!!!

another thing with the Fabcrap, they used a 5" lift block and alll i can say is HOLY AXLE WRAP!!!



Edit.......just found this if you want spindles and blocks on the cheap.

alright thank for all the help but i just hate how low the obs 2wds are stock so i think im gonna go with either the rc or springtech spindles and some blocks or aal's havents decided. maybe combine the two and throw a spacer up front to keep it level. your truck looks great but i bet your punching yourself for throwing away that money and time.

Doing a rear shackle mount flip also helps. You can then run extended length shackles to raise your rear.
