Fabtech 3" Lift Install
Ladies and Gentlemen I have bought and received the Fabtech 3" Spindle lift, RAAL, Cam Alingment Kit, Performance shocks and so on that came with the kit.
I am just trying to figure out if any of you guys that have done this lift before have needed extra tools, bolts, or the "it would of worked better if" advice. I am going to try and give it a shot this weekend after this nice little hurricane rolls over. 2006 Ford Ranger Sport 3.0L V6 2WD Thanks in advance.

Re: Fabtech 3" Lift Install
You need a grinder. And probably a breaker bar IIRC theirs lock tight on some of the bolts.

Re: Fabtech 3" Lift Install
I just did mine two weeks ago. Depending on how many miles you have on your rig, I recommend replacing the lower and upper ball joints while you have everything off

Re: Fabtech 3" Lift Install
About the bumpers. Where are some aftermarket ones. I can only find replacement or is it a fab your own kind of deal?

I think this one is sick, kinda pricy. But you can certainly fab your own for just the cost of materials.
