C1500 Lift

[FearlessFoe]

Hey! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the fabtech or procomp spindle lifts kits. I'm just looking for a tougher stance for my truck..
If anyone could tell me about their experience let me know! thanks

Raised My '91 Chevy C1500 With A 4'' Spindle Lift From "aim".
Easy Lift ..just Replaces The Spindle, And The Ball Joints In The Front, Then Added A Leaf And A 2.5" Angled Block In The Rear... Put On Some 33x12.5 Tires.. Looks Good...only Problem Is The Stock Upper A Arms Do Not Exstend Far Enough To Correct The "toe" In The Wheel Alignment..other Than That Easy Lift And One More Thing, Make Sure U Tell Them If Its A Exstended Cab Or Standard Cab..the Spindle Size Is Differnent...i Got The Wrong One For My Single Cab And Had To Replace The Rotors(needed Replacing Anyways)..

Thanks.. Did the lift kit relocate the swing arm positions? or did it just move the spindle down?

[profox02]

every thing stayed in there stock positions. the spindle is the only think that is droped down to give the lift..and the whole assembly is made thicker...

the camber was the same right? weren't you able to adjust the toe in by adjusting the tie rods? you should be able to just lengthen the rod through the sleeve to help

im sorry not "toe", but "camber"..the toe is fine, but, i have a bit of negitave camber, not to much, not enough to effect the ride, but, noticable if you look at it..but im gonna get that corrected here soon..

That sounds like fun.. Are you going to take it to an alignment shop?

[profox02]

already did, and thats when they told me that the upper a-arm did not extend far enough to fully correct the camber..so a new longer a-arm or relocate the casters to correct the camber
