FabTech Dual Stabilizer on BIG trucks???
 
1 Attachment(s)
Ordered a FabTech dual stabilizer and picking it up tomrrow. I can still back out if i hear of better or anthting bad bout doing it. It rides smoooth and straight at 80 all day but any bump or lines on the road anywhere from 30 and up i get wobble wobble from wheels. So this is what i hear is the solution. I heard tho that their know to snap tie ends. True??

Do you have a Fabtech lift? IRC they only work on their lifts...

Got it through 4 Wheel Parts which I NVR buy from cuz their really expensive. But they were $169.00 and here locally. So factor in ordering them thro a cheaper website there'd be shipping & having to wait. And i just did my leveling kit and 2" rear so having the alignment fresh i want to add these to help front end

I hate 4wheel parts. There Customer Serv. sucks monkey ass, at least down here.
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?

Oh really? i didnt read it, i just scanned thru the pics and it looked like it mounted to the stock cross member.

Believe it or not it wasn't a factor at all getting it aligned. I spun the steel leveling block around and used a drill press to make new holes so it'd match the bolts on the spring. It wants you to spin the whole assembly around 180 degrees and reinstall it. Which i couldn't do cuz the 6" lift block i already have is angled on top. So with new holes and thicker bolts it went in and was SOLID. I even welded 3 small beads joining them so there's no possibility of moment. And then i had to turn my pass side tie rod 2 times outwards to line up as best n drove it up. It aligned real easy n quickly. I also already had a camber kit so it wasn't off much. And i kid u not it drives extremely well and my shafts are barely angled.
