Doetsch Vs Fabtech
Im going to do a spindle lift soon and I found Doetsch spindles for 350 shipped with a rear lift and the fabtech are like 430 shipped just the spindle. Im sure that fabtech is a better spindle or mabey its just paying for the name. I just want to make sure that the 3inch doetsch is the same lift hight as the 3.5 fabtech. I plan on running the same setup that daytonabchranger is but i just wanna make sure i can fit the 39.5's with the cheaper doetsch 3inch spindles. I know it can be done with the fabtech 3.5inch spindles/ body lift combo
I've heard fabtech to be a little weak. Plus they stick out a bit on the front tires. I kind of like them, but I wouldn't get them if I were you for
1. the price
2. they stick out
3. you can't run stock rims if you have to (i.e. spare, etc)

I love Fabtech products and the prices are actually going down. I am lowering the price on all of my already below-anyone-else prices once again. 435 for a spindle is pretty expensive but when you think about it, you can get the whole kit with rear add a leafs and all parts needed for less than $650

I'm going Doetsch soon, I tried to get some info from the Fabtech guys and they were sarcastic and rude. I asked a Doetsch rep a dozen questions and she helped me out big time.
Spindle lift, tires, regear, and chevy spring swap are my next big mods.

I haven't had any problems with my Fabtech. the ONLY Fabtech product that i will ever buy is the spindles, their other stuff is crap.
Mentioned above is the fact that they stick out(1/2"). This was a big issue for me when i first got them, BUT after having them on i have to say that i love it. the reason being that it just makes my truck handle soo much nicer with the wider stance, this is that i can corner on the street better then most people

and I'm not buying a lift off of Ebay. I'll buy old ninja turtle figures off ebay, not something that effects the ability to operate my daily driver.
I'll glady pay an extra couple hundo for customer service

if you did something worthy of bannishment, then I suggest you chill for the designated time cuz if you really did get banned as soon as a mod comes across this you'll be right back out again.
if that was a joke and you just couldn't access your old account for some reason PM Skot or christian so they can figure it out for you, because multiple accounts are against the rules
