Thats good to hear. 4wheel parts could get my alignment right twice.. My stearing is off, it goes to the right. They said that the numbers say everything is done right, and they didnt do anything about it . I really hate 4wp lol

Ya their definitely morons. They just have those lift & tire package deals that every goes for. Here in Dallas they couldn't even mount a set of 37s i managed to Jew them down badly. Said their machines aren't able to do above 35 so id have to take it else where.

I have Fabtech dual stabilizers on my truck that I purchased from 4WP as well (with a 6" Fabtech lift). I love the way they enhance the steering, but be prepared to change them out every 4 months or so (they switch them out under warranty with no problems). It's very easy to over-extend them, which causes them to leak. I've tried to not crank the wheel all the way when backing up and taking tight corners to reduce the extension on the stabilizers, but it's hard not to with 35" tires lol

I cant even get my local 4wp to return/exchange the wrong tune that they gave me.. I cant imagine them swapping out steering stabilizers ever 4 months lol

I have never had a good experience with them, So i might go thru Desert rat Off-road there local and helpful.

So you have a 6inch lift and stacked a leveling kit on top of that? lol how did u get ur truck aligned?

It is easy to get it aligned, you drive to the shop, go to the front desk and say " hey I need an alignment" they say ok, took the keys did the alignment then took my money and gave said keys back... I drove away...


No but seriously. It lines up perfectly still they have no issue doing it on mine

Got it installed and LOVE it!! Can't believe i've been running 35s and now 37s for 2 years now and never thought to get one. It makes steering so smooth and takes care of almost all wheel wobble and shimmy while driving. Took all of 30 min for install and looks clean. I encourage it to everyone!!

Make sure and get some boots for them! They will preserve them a lot longer.
