Re: Fabtech or Rough Country
What kind of truck? It will be close on an OBS if that's your truck in your sig. I would say 305's are the biggest. Maybe some of the OBS guys could give you better info.

Re: Fabtech or Rough Country
so, for my 95 c1500, I could pick up RC's 4" spindle lift for $289, 4 new shocks, and 2" or 3" blocks for the rear and call it a day? Thats all I need? (besides alignment?)

Re: Fabtech or Rough Country
yeah, im 2wd. you should toss up a pic of your truck now, I'd really like to see what a 3" bl and a 4" spindle looks like. I'm planning something similar for mine.


I just have a 3" bl on mine right now, and I am considering 4" spindles and a 3" block in the back. I'm just a bit concerned that my 33x12.50's will look too off with that extra lift, and I am not going to anything bigger until I do gears
