Default 3" Fabtech basic lift

I have the 3" basic which is spring extensions, new shocks, drop pitman arm. My 3" lift actually gave me about 4.5" though an a 4 door x. Loved it offroading, so far not so hot on the road though, but I bought it used, and get a little tiny death wobble on 1 road in particular. I think the death wobble is an install issue though and I haven't had time to sort it out yet. For the price I got it for, I would do it again, but I think if you are looking new, TF, or OME may be better choices. Keep in mind that this may not be fair as mine was used and I installed it myself with very little mechanical ability.

Honestly I love it and once I figure out my death wobble I will be fine.

Honestly I would stay away from fabtech. IMO those kits were not designed for off road vehicles, just jacked up f 150s
