fabtech sucks
well they dont actually suck but i cant find away to get my z back to the ground , they dealer ship wont give me a deal because they scared of resaling i guess. i have a 2003 chevy z71 with 6" fabtech lift and 3" body with 38" tires i got a good deal and it already had everything. is there anyway i could bring it back to stock for better fuel mileage that is the real issue 10 mpg isnt going to cut it

Re: fabtech sucks
lose the bodylift and 38's, decrank the fabtech to around 4" and run some 33's if its not regeared already and that should help

Re: fabtech sucks
If you're trading it in I wouldn't worry about re-gearing, but definitely take the BL and 38's off, and the Fabtech should decrank a good 2-3".
Edit: Or you could give me your Fabtech and I'll give you my stock diff, LCA's, and knuckles.

My truck is stock and i get it...?  must be that I go for women who aren't shallow and interested in my truck?
Edit: seriously take the body lift off and get some smaller lighter tires.
