Construction & Design

The Fabtech 6-inch Basic System features a drop bracket design that replaces the factory components with heavy-duty steel brackets. These brackets are engineered to provide a precise lift while preserving the factory steering and suspension geometry. The system's components are fabricated from high-strength steel, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear under demanding conditions.

The inclusion of a trac bar relocation bracket ensures that steering alignment remains true after the lift, preventing unwanted wandering or uneven tire wear. The Pitman arm and sway bar drops are engineered to maintain proper steering angles and handling characteristics, providing a smooth and controlled ride both on and off-road. Rear blocks and U-bolts are designed for easy installation, offering a secure and stable lift for the rear suspension.

Performance & Sound

This suspension lift enhances your truck's off-road capabilities by increasing ground clearance and allowing for larger tires. While it doesn't explicitly claim specific horsepower or torque gains, the system improves overall vehicle stability and handling when equipped with appropriately sized tires. The lift provides a more commanding stance and improved approach, departure, and break-over angles, making it well-suited for off-road adventures and rugged terrain.

It utilizes the existing factory mounting points, with the addition of drop brackets, rear blocks, and hardware included in the kit. No cutting, drilling, or extensive modifications are required, making it accessible for experienced DIYers and professional installers.
