drive shaft spacer needed?
I got the 7.5" fabtech lift kit and will be adding to it. In the front i will be adding the 2in lift spacer, for the rear I will still be running my 4in block (not the 5, sorry Jake I think ill keep a smaller block if i can) and a 1-2in aal:

the fabtech should of came with one. but you may have to add a shim or a bigger spacer most likely. Wait for Brian to chime in he knows a lot more about these things.

alright sweet. I dont think i got one with my kit...i bought it from a friend...

 

[buckshot85]

you dont have any axle or bed hop? thats strange if you dont because most lifts 6" and up have one. i know thats why i stayed with a 4"

I havnt put it on yet. my buddy sent me a text asking if i was also putting on a d.shaft spacer and i was like

I want to put on traction bars...?(i guess tahts what theyre called....) but I dont know of any good ones for lifted trucks

I know pro comp makes some traction bars and superlift but yea if thats the case you will deff. need a spacer and traction bars with that much lift. otherwise you axle will be bouncing everwhere and you'd break your driveshaft at that angle lol. better look into swaybars as well unless you already have them

I dont think i have rear sway bars, I was quickly rowsing both pro comp and s.lift, neither one of them has t.bars for my applicaiton..

 

[buckshot85]

haha thats my fault man. i meant steering stabilizer. i was thinking about swaybar because i need a new one lmao

 

[agjake11]
