Default Fabtech 6 inch basic lift? Yay or nay?

Hey guys, I have not seen many people running fabtech lifts on here and was curious to see if anyone has good or bad comments on them. I can get a really good deal on one and they offer a free powertrain and drivetrain warranty now also through fabtech that covers me incase the dealer denies warranty. I have a 2012 fx4 supercrew. I am between fabtech and BDS and am currently running a bds level kit on 35x12.5 with 0 offset. Any comments would be appreciated

Fabtech is a pretty reputable company that's been around for a long time. I'd go with it if u can get a good deal, especially if they throw in a free warranty

You running a 35x12.5 on a stock wheel? I've been looking at the Fabtech lift also. It's a pretty good lift. Are you looking at the one with the coil overs? I was looking at K2115B kit.

I'm running 20x9 pro comp wheels with 5 inch BS.. And i'm looking at the standard 6 inch lift not the coilovers

I got Fabtech 6" lift with coilovers back in January on my 2014. One started to leak in few months later before it saw any dirt. Unlike bds they wont send replacement, you have to send it in for rebuild (3weeks) and wait for it to come back. I started to deal with this in May and now have my truck on a lift in a shop with only one shock. Likely will not be ready until after summer. All my planned trips cancelled-thanks Fabtech! At least I have time to scrub all the oil stains off my driveway. Also when first ordered the kit only came with one reservoir bracket.
No problems with the lift kit itself, but before you get coilovers call around to find out how anyone's warranty works. I didn't and regret it big time.
