So I have been having problems with my suspension, The UCA Ball Joint its touching the spring, and having some problem with the camber on the tires. From the looks of it, it looks like the fabtech lift is wrong.

I got some parts numbers from the parts today.

Part numbers:

Springs - Fts97150-1
Spindle - Fts97159-7

---------------------

Btw I am running 315/75r16 tires. So I did a google search for the part numbers and found out that it is apart of fabtechs 3.5" lift kit. (Link). So from that information, I am not sure where the other 3" of lift is coming from. Might be a body lift but i never seen one so I am not too sure what they look like.

On that kit page it says "Use 295/75R16 tire w/16x8 wheels w/4 3/4" BS w/minor trimming" So would this problem be caused from running a bigger tire even though in total i got 6" if lift?

If not what might be causing me this problem? The upper ball joint on the spindle is touching the springs. And the UCA is maxed out on its adjustment so to me it looks like its short or something.

Hope you guys can help me out! Here are some pictures

 

Looks like when you set it down with the wheels and tires it will go up and away from the spring. I think they use lift spindles to get the other 3"

 

I will be taking a picture of them on its wheels during lunch. My main problem is that when i took it to get a alignment, the dude said they can't adjust the camber because the Upper Arm is already maxed out.

 

Is it just a spring lift? Cause if it is, it could be that its maxing out your angles, because the spring is so large, you might wanna go down a size on the spring or just get the fabtech 7.5inch lift.

 

Did you install the kit yourself or buy the truck that way?

It looks as if someone just put the A arms and springs in but did not use the lift spindles for some reason. Those appear to be stock spindles, which if in fact they are is the reason your a arm is maxed out.

 

Looks to me like you've got the 3 inch spindle which is fine but your spring is WAY to big! The spindle doesn't affect ur UCA at all. Only thing I can't think of.

 

You need longer UCAs for any amount of spring/coil spacer lift over 2" (i think you have 3" springs) that will fix that problem. As far as alignment you will need a camber bolt kit

 

all different answers here lol,

it looks like he has maybe a 3in lift spindle and a 7.5in coil, but you dont have a lower control arm drop bracket.... with my 3.5in spindle and 2in spring I never had any problems with it. here are the pictures of the 3.5in spindle and 2in coil side by side:

Here are a few pictures of both sides when wheels on.

I have been emailing fabtech and they said its there 3.5" kit. The spindles that are on my truck are fabtechs 3.5" spindle lift

 

The Spindles aren't the problem. Your spring are. See how the warp outward? That's because there to big. If they weren't to big you wouldn't be havin this problem
