Fabtech - 6" Performance System for '01-'03 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500 HD 8lug Pickup 4wd
Note: Does Not Include Shocks
The first HD system to hit the dirt was the 6inch system clearing 35inch tall tires. Lift is accomplished via one-piece cast drop down steering knuckles attaching to heavy-duty 1/4inch thick, high arched lower control arm crossmembers with an integrated differential skid plate. Front and rear crossmembers are connected via tubular support tubes to provide additional front suspension rigidity. The front differential is relocated with a cradle style bracket using urethane bushings at just the proper angle to allow the use of the factory front driveshaft. Tubular sway bar end links with urethane bushings retain the factory front sway bar angle.
The stock upper control arms and steering centerlink are retained in the factory position and do not have to be removed for installation. The front suspension is completed with crossmember impact struts and torsion bar drop down brackets. Rear lift is accomplished with a 4inch block and U-bolt system with rear bump stop brackets.
No driveshaft change required for Auto Trac models
Crossmembers constructed of heavy ¼-inch thick plate steel
Solid steel billet sway bar end links
Includes 1/4inch thick steel differential skid plate
Tubular impact struts included
Increased caster for more control with oversized tires
Retains factory steering centerlink & upper control arms in stock location
Quick, no weld installation
Fabtech suspension systems can be installed by the do-it-yourself mechanic. All necessary hardware and complete instructions are included. However, what will be required by the do-it-yourselfer is time and strength. The parts can be heavy. The procedures are sometimes awkward and require special tools. And the fasteners (nuts and bolts) may be very tight. Also, as with installing any new suspension component, you will typically find related parts that are worn and need replacing (i.e. tie-rod ends). To do a good job, be prepared to take your time, so while you are there, you can give the entire suspension/chassis a once over. (Don't forget to have a first class wheel alignment done when you are finished.)
Use 315/75R 16 tire with 16 x 9 wheels and 4 5/8inch Back Spacing with minor trimming
