    Does anyone have experience with fabtech lift kits ? I'm going to look at a 2010 sr5 with a fabtech 6" lift kit and a 3" body lift. It currently rolls on 35"s AT Mickey Thompsons.
    It's a 3hr drive away so I'd like some honest feed back from anyone running this or a similar set up.

    How's the ride quality? It'll be a daily driver pavement princess to me and according to the seller he's never had it offroad.

    How's the wear n tear on CVS shaFts and ball joints?

    Thanks for the help!

    Most of the fabtech lifts Ive seen have held up pretty well. I would consider them middle of the road in terms quality on their kits. Im interested to see what 35's look like with 9 inches of lift. It also depends if the person chose to go with the upgraded coilover version or stayed with the standard lift kit. Throw some pics up to give us a better idea.

    Fox and dirt logic shocks apparently. New ball joints too.

    35's dont look as small as I was expecting. I think the truck looks pretty good. I believe the dirt logic are the upgraded version that Fabtech uses so you shouldnt have a spacer up front. Seems like the previous owner put some money into it which usually translates into taking decent care of it. Drop bracket lift the angles shouldnt be to severe on the cvs and stuff.

    I got a drop bracket with coilovers similar to what this truck appears to have and Im pretty happy with the ride quality. Itll do just fine as a daily driver in my opinion.

    I like the lifted one. Looks like a good base for an expedition rig.
    lowered and supercharged: I would stay away from it...

    If I can get this truck, I think I will want to pull just the body lift off and level the 6" lift
